How we can help make your home more energy efficient
We could help you save on your energy bills with free upgrades
If you want to make your home warmer and more energy efficient, we could help. Through us, you can apply for government schemes that are all about installing energy efficiency measures in your home. Like a new boiler, insulation, a heat pump, and more through the current ECO4 scheme. Or upgraded insulation for cavity walls and lofts through the Great British Insulation Scheme.
How to apply for ECO4
01
Apply for ECO4
First up, you can apply for the scheme through our form. We’ll check the details you’ve given us. Then, if it looks like you’ll qualify for ECO4, we’ll pass them to one of our trusted partners.
02
Our partner will contact you
They’ll double-check the details you gave us (including your EPC rating and benefits status), and ask some more questions about your home. Then, if you’re eligible, they’ll arrange your home assessment to let you know how it could be improved.
03
Booking the installation
Our partner will talk to an installer about the upgrades you could get through ECO4. If you’re happy to go ahead, our partner will book the installations with you. They’ll have their own terms and conditions, and you’ll need to sign a contract with them before the work begins. The order the works happen is decided by scheme rules – for example, insulation will be installed before heating.

Important details to know
We can’t guarantee you’ll be included in the scheme until our installation partner has confirmed that you’re eligible and that your home fits the ECO4 criteria.
We don’t install the energy efficiency measures ourselves. We’ll put you in contact with one of our trusted partners, then they’ll carry out the full assessment of your home and install any ECO4 measures.
The installer will check the information you’ve provided. If it looks like you’re eligible, they’ll need to visit your home to carry out a technical survey to work out which measures to install. Any upgrades they recommend for your home will be based on what will reduce your energy use under ECO4, rather than your preference.
Who’s eligible for ECO4?
- To be a homeowner or a private tenant.
- An EPC rating of D, E, F or G if you own your home (E, F or G for tenants).
- To receive one or more benefits.

What is it ECO4?
The UK government’s ECO scheme is designed to help you reduce your energy bills, keep your home warm and your energy use down.
All large UK energy suppliers take part in the scheme, which aims to improve your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). As part of it, we can help you install energy efficiency measures such as insulation and heating upgrades. We’re now on version 4 of the scheme – that’s why it’s known as ECO4.
If your home qualifies for energy efficiency upgrades, our trusted partners could help install the measures it needs.
What’s included in ECO4?
The ECO funding makes all kinds of different improvements around your home as a whole. For example, you’re unlikely to just get loft insulation or a new heating system. You’d get a few things based on a survey of your home. If you join the scheme, you’ll need to agree to all the energy efficiency measures our installation partner recommends when they assess your home. You won’t be able to pick and choose the measures you prefer.
How do I find out my Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating?
Check your EPC if you live in Scotland (https://www.scottishepcregister.org.uk/), or if you live in England or Wales (https://www.gov.uk/find-energy-certificate).
Is the scheme available for privately rented properties?
Yes, the scheme is available for privately rented properties. To access it, the tenant must receive a qualifying benefit, and the property must have an EPC rating of D or below. If you’re the tenant, you’ll need permission from the landlord before the in-home assessment happens.
Who do I contact if I have questions about the scheme?
You can contact us at info@energycompanyobligation.co.uk with any general questions about the scheme.
