ECO4 is the fourth phase of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, which is a government-funded initiative that aims to make UK homes more energy-efficient and tackle fuel poverty. The ECO4 scheme is set to run from 2022 to 2026.
The ECO4 scheme offers obligated suppliers, manufacturers, and installers various routes to deploy new energy efficiency and heating products. such as:
boilers
loft or cavity wall installation
storage heaters
solar panels
The ECO4 scheme covers a wide range of energy-efficient upgrades to homes, including:

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.

You may be eligible if you receive certain benefits like Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, or Universal Credit, and your home has an EPC rating of D, E, F, or G. We can help you check your eligibility during a free home energy assessment.
ECO4 primarily targets private, owner-occupied homes and private rented homes. In some cases, social housing and park homes might also qualify.
Yes, the number of people living in your home can influence the type and extent of support you receive.

Once qualified for an ECO4 installation, it's important to note that combining this funding with other government grants like Warm Home Discount (WHD), Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), and Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) isn't permissible.
However, if the ECO4 work is completed or not scheduled to commence soon, you might be eligible to apply for additional grants aimed at enhancing fuel efficiency.
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.
