- Stage 4 of The Energy Company Obligation scheme entitles low-income houses to free upgrades to their homes
- The aim of the scheme is to reduce bills for the homes and decrease their carbon footprint
The fourth stage of The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme is now underway, meaning thousands of homeowners and tenants in the UK can claim free energy-efficiency upgrades for their homes.
The scheme’s main objective is to improve the energy efficiency of low-income and vulnerable households, decreasing the energy bills for those living there and reducing the carbon footprint of the property.
Those who own or rent a property that is heated with electricity and have a household income under £30,000 are likely to be eligible for the scheme, which entitles eligible homes to new boilers, insulation, solar panels and air source heat pumps.
