Frequently Asked Questions
Why & How the ECO4 Scheme Started?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government-funded scheme that aims to make UK homes more energy-efficient and tackle fuel poverty. ECO4 is the fourth phase of the scheme, which started in April 2022 and will run until March 2026.
The primary goal of ECO4 is to support low-income households who are unable to upgrade their homes and heating systems. Since its introduction in 2013, over 3.1 million home improvements have been made under the scheme.
ECO4 is different from ECO3 in that it aims to reach more people during this final stage. The government has extended the ECO grant for an extra four years, meaning it will run until March 2026.
The eligibility criteria for ECO4 have also changed, with the government looking for ways to help low-income families who aren’t receiving benefits.
The ECO4 report states that 46.1% of fuel-poor households are not in receipt of benefits. To support these low-income groups, the government has expanded and reformed local authority flexibility, so that suppliers can deliver up to 50% of their obligation via that route.

What is your
EPS rating?
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is a measure of how energy-efficient a property is. The rating is based on the difference in expected annual energy bills between the starting SAP rating of the domestic premises (pre-retrofit) and its finishing SAP rating (post-retrofit)
The EPC rating ranges from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The average rating for a property in England and Wales is D.
The ECO4 scheme requires that properties have an EPC rating of E, F, or G to be eligible for funding.
