Looking for free or subsidised home energy upgrades? The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a UK Government-backed scheme that helps low-income and vulnerable households across the UK reduce energy bills and improve the energy efficiency of their homes. Running from April 2022 to March 2026, ECO4 is the fourth phase of this long-standing initiative and provides up to £1 billion in annual funding for vital home improvements.
If your home has a poor EPC rating (D to G) and you’re struggling with heating costs, the ECO4 scheme could help cover the full cost of improvements such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and new heating systems. It’s part of a wider push to tackle fuel poverty, cut carbon emissions, and prepare homes for a low-carbon future.
