Increase Your Energy Efficiency By Eco4 Scheme
Find out if you are eligible for Energy Eco4 Grant
UK government offering free air source heat pumps and solar panels to eligible homeowners
The government subsidy scheme covers electric storage heater replacement costs for fully programmable Dimplex Quantum heaters with outstanding heat retention. These heaters recharge overnight using cheap off-peak power and come with a manufacturer’s warranty. To qualify for a free storage heater grant, you must already have electric heating and receive a qualifying benefit.
ECO eligibility is assessed using a combination of householder criteria and house makeup. Information on how the house makeup eligibility is determined can be found in Chapter 3 of our ECO4 Delivery Guidance. The householder eligibility criteria are assessed using three separate pathways:
ECO4 measures can be delivered to social housing with EPC energy efficiency ratings D, E, F, and G, where the premises are below market rate. SAP band E-G rated social housing can receive insulation, first-time central heating, renewable heating, district heating connection, and innovation measures. Band D social housing must meet minimum insulation requirements.
ECO4 Flex allows local authorities, Scottish and Welsh Governments, and suppliers to identify households meeting eligibility requirements. LAs use four routes to identify eligible households, and LAs can contact them if they meet eligibility criteria. However, meeting eligibility does not guarantee installation, as energy companies determine retrofit projects, funding levels, and Retrofit Coordinators and installers. For any queries about eligibility and retrofit process, consult your energy supplier.
