ECO4 is a government-backed scheme to use less energy and lower bills by offering financial support for energy-saving improvements for homes in Great Britain. The scheme helps to fight climate change and lower carbon emissions of houses in the UK.
In the post, we at Free Boiler Grant cover everything you need about the ECO4 scheme. We will also review the Eco4 funding highlights, eligibility requirements, and application process.
What Are ECO4 Grants, And What Do They Cover?
In 2013, the government introduced the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. There have been several phases to the UK Government’s Eco Scheme; the last one, ECO4, will begin in July 2022 and last through March 2026. These government eco grants offer financial support to install energy-saving measures for low-income and vulnerable or fuel-poor households in Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) bands D-G.
