Energy Company Obligation

 
  • The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a UK government-backed scheme designed to help households lower their energy bills and improve home efficiency. Through ECO, eligible homeowners can access funding for energy-saving measures such as solar panels , heating system upgrades and insulation. These improvements not only make homes warmer and more comfortable but can also reduce energy bills by hundreds of pounds each year, depending on the size of the property and the type of work carried out.

  • The ECO scheme funds a wide range of energy efficiency upgrades, all installed by government-approved installers to guarantee quality. This includes solar panels, heating system upgrades and insulation. These improvements help keep homes warmer, reduce energy consumption, and lower electricity and heating costs. On average, ECO-funded upgrades can cut energy bills by up to 60%, depending on the property and measures installed, making it a cost-effective way to save money while boosting home efficiency.

  • To qualify for the ECO (Energy Company Obligation) scheme, your household must meet certain eligibility requirements. The scheme is designed to help those on:

    • Low Incomes

    • Receiving Qualifying Benefits, including Universal Credit, Child or Working Tax Credits, Pension Credit, Income Support, Employment and Support Allowance, Housing Benefit, or Jobseeker’s Allowance.

    • You may also qualify through an NHS or GP referral if someone in your home has a health condition affected by cold living conditions. ECO grants cover insulation and other energy efficiency improvements, and the work is usually provided at no cost to you, helping you reduce energy bills and keep your home warmer. Homeowners and tenants can apply, though tenants need landlord approval before work begins.

      Meeting one or more of these criteria can make your home eligible for free or subsidised energy-saving improvements through ECO.

“Wow Fully funded solar panels, the tradesmen were friendly polite neat and tidy , nothing was to much. The office staff kept me informed from start to finish, which was only a 4 week process, from getting told about the solar panels to them being installed. Thankyou”

- Mark  | August 2025

“I had to do very little and got solar, new heater, fans and insulation. All done very professionally and helpfully. All the work was done and completed in less than two weeks”
