Funding for energy efficient improvements available through ECO4 scheme

If you’ve been keeping an eye on energy-saving initiatives, you might have heard about the ECO4 Scheme – a government program that helps low-income and vulnerable households cut energy bills and reduce carbon emissions.

To help reduce the carbon emissions associated with some of the boroughs most inefficient homes the Council’s Climate Change team have appointed Grant Store to help deliver the Council’s ECO4 Flex scheme.

The national ECO4 scheme offers insulation and clean-heat technology to eligible homes, helping to reduce energy bills and improve thermal comfort for residents’ health and wellbeing.

To be eligible residents must have a low household income or a qualifying health condition and a property Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of Band E, F or G. The types of energy efficiency upgrades available include wall and loft insulation, air source heat pumps, efficient electric storage heaters and solar panels.
