What Is the ECO4 Grant?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a UK government scheme. It aims to make homes in Great Britain more energy efficient. Under ECO4, funding is available to help low-income and vulnerable households swap out old fossil fuel heating systems for energy-efficient alternatives, as well as upgrading fabric measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation to name a few.
You might still qualify through LA Flex (Local Authority Flexibility), even if you don’t get benefits. West Coast Electrical takes care of the whole application process for you. This makes it easy and stress-free.
