ECO Funding
What is the ECO Scheme?
The ECO Scheme has been running since 2013 helping homeowners, landlords and tenants to tackle fuel poverty, reduce their carbon footprint and lower energy costs
We are proud to have been involved in this scheme since 2013 and under the current ECO4 scheme, we can secure funding for several energy efficiency measures.
Households could be eligible for funding under the Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO) scheme or the LA Flex (Local Authority Eligibility Flexibility) scheme through the Government’s ECO4 scheme.
- Properties with an EPC rating of C or higher do not qualify for any funding.
