How Can We Help?
What Is the ECO (Energy Company Obligation) Scheme?
The ECO (Energy Company Obligation) Scheme is a government-backed initiative in the UK designed to help households improve their energy efficiency and reduce energy bills. Under this scheme, major energy companies are required to fund the installation of energy-saving measures—such as insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable technologies—for eligible households.
The scheme’s main aims are to:
- Reduce energy bills for those most in need, including low-income and vulnerable households.
- Cut carbon emissions by making homes more energy efficient.
- Support the UK’s climate goals by encouraging the use of modern, eco-friendly technologies.
Typical improvements funded by ECO include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, air source heat pumps, and sometimes solar panels. Eligibility is usually based on factors like income, receipt of certain benefits, or living in a property that is hard to heat.
Our team can help you check if you qualify for the ECO scheme and guide you through the application process, making it easy to access free or subsidised energy-saving upgrades.
