Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about government energy grants

What is the ECO4 scheme and how does it work?

The ECO4 scheme is a government initiative that requires energy suppliers to fund energy efficiency improvements in homes. It provides free boilers, insulation, and heating upgrades to eligible households, particularly those on low incomes or receiving benefits.

Can I apply for multiple grants at the same time?

Yes, in many cases you can combine different grants and schemes. For example, you might be eligible for ECO4 funding for a boiler replacement and the Great British Insulation Scheme for insulation improvements. We can help identify all available options for your situation.

How long does the application process take?

The application process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial application to approval. Once approved, installation is usually scheduled within 4-8 weeks, depending on the type of work required and installer availability.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?

No, eligible households don't pay anything upfront for ECO4 scheme installations. The work is fully funded by energy suppliers. However, some schemes may require a small contribution depending on your circumstances.

What happens if my application is rejected?

If your application is rejected, we'll explain why and help you explore alternative options. You may be eligible for different schemes or local authority support. We can also advise on steps to take to become eligible in the future.
