ECO4
Energy suppliers may fund energy-saving improvements in England, Wales and Scotland. Funding is not guaranteed or a fixed household entitlement. Eligibility depends on tenure, household circumstances, energy rating and eligible measures. Private rented homes generally need EPC E, F or G and landlord permission. Supplier or installer assessment determines the offer and any contribution. Local authority Flex referral is an alternative route, not a funding guarantee. ECO4 ends on 31 December 2026.

This is the section most people came here for, so let's get straight to it.
ECO4 is means-tested. The quickest route in is through qualifying benefits: Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit, Income Support, income-based JSA, or income-related ESA. If you receive any of these, you almost certainly qualify. Your property also needs an EPC rating of D, E, F, or G, but since about 55% of homes in England fall into those bands according to , that's not the barrier people think it is.
