Reduce Heat Loss and Improve Your Property’s Energy Efficiency

 

As part of the Government’s ECO4 Grant Scheme, within a few weeks you could have an up-to-date, highly efficient heating system via the possible installation of Air Source Heat Pump/Replacement Boiler, Solar Panels and Insulation Measures.

ECO4 – Makes this possible

Set up by the Government in 2013 with the aim to make UK homes more energy efficient by installing dual energy saving measures, The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) directive means that the main energy suppliers; British Gas, SSE, EDF, E-on Next and alike, are obligated to invest in these measures for householders who qualify under the ‘affordable warmth’ bracket and are in receipt of certain benefits.

ECO4 is the latest round of this Government Grant aided scheme.

The current measures we can help you benefit from are;

Benefits Criteria

The best way to see if you qualify is to click on the ‘Apply Now’ button at the top of the page and spend no more than a few seconds answering the questions.

From the answers you provide we will be able to confirm whether or not you qualify.

However, if you prefer an at-a-glance idea of the qualifying benefits then here are the majority of them and they are applicable whether you are the homeowner or tenant;

  • Income Based Job Seekers Allowance
  • Universal Credit
  • Pension Guarantee Credit
  • Working Tax Credit
  • Child Tax Credit
  • Income Related Employment & Support Allowance
  • Income Support
  • Housing Benefit
  • Pension Credit Savings Credit
  • Additionally – Warm Homes Discount will apply

So you Qualify for the Grant – Next Steps

Upon qualifying for the grant we will arrange a free survey to identify the energy efficiency of the property.

This will include ensuring that the flooring is suspended so that underfloor insulation can be installed and we will look at the age and working order of the existing boiler.

From here we will arrange a mutually convenient time for the installations to take place; the underfloor insulation takes place first followed by replacement of the boiler.

We will clarify the boiler / ASHP manufacturer and model that you qualify for but please note that in the event of you wishing to upgrade to another, a contribution may be required and this would need to be paid prior to works commencing.

Installations of multiple measures follow a determined process and completed over multiple days.

If you are the tenant then it is important that the landlord of the property is also notified of the upgrades as not only is it beneficial to you – in the way of increased energy efficiency and reduction of associated energy bills – but it can also increase the value of the property.
