Are you looking to make your home more energy-efficient? Or, are you a landlord seeking to improve the energy efficiency of your rental properties? If so, then you could be eligible for ECO4 funding! In this blog post, we’ll break down everything you need to know about ECO4 funding eligibility and help guide you through the process.
What Are The Benefits of ECO4 Funding?
ECO4 is the government’s Energy Company Obligation, and it’s a way of making sure energy companies help people to heat their homes more affordably and sustainably. If you’re eligible, you could get insulation or a new boiler installed for free.
The key benefits of ECO4 are:
- You could get your cavity walls insulated for free
- You could get a new boiler installed for free
- You will save money on your energy bills
- Your home will be warmer and more comfortable
Does PIP Qualify For ECO4 Grants?
If you claim PIP (Personal Independence Payments) then you can be eligible for an ECO4 Grant. There are a range of ECO4 grants that you can be eligible for to make your home warmer and more energy efficient.
You can apply for a Free Boiler Grant in just 60 seconds and if you’re eligible, you can have a brand new, energy efficient boiler installed for free. The grant includes a free survey and all installation is carried out by a qualified engineer.
Applying for a free boiler is not the only way that you can make your home warmer for less, as you can see if you’re eligible for a Free Insulation Grant. Having insulation in your home is an efficient way of stopping the heat in your home escaping, which helps to lower your heating bills and keep your home cosy. If you’re eligible, you can have insulation installed in your home for free by a qualified engineer.
If your home doesn’t currently have a central heating system, then you could be eligible for a First Time Central Heating Grant. So you can save on your heating bills and enjoy a warmer, more energy efficient home!
