What is ECO4 Grant?
Energy price hikes have left everyone worried about how they’re going to cope with the increased cost moving forward. ECO4 is the fourth stage of the government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme which has been extended until March 2026. It’s designed to support low-income households that can’t afford to insulate or upgrade their heating system, and help vulnerable people deal with high energy bills.

What’s an EPC certificate and why does it matter?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) helps property owners understand the energy consumption and costs associated with a building. At Eco Subs, we help households across the UK access ECO4 and other grants so that they can improve the EPC rating of their property and power their homes. Get in touch to check your eligibility – your warm, energy-efficient dream home is just a click away.
The benefits of a new heating system:
- Old, inefficient boilers and central heating will use more energy to heat your home. A brand new boiler and heating controls can provide significant savings
- Servicing and maintenance costs on a brand new boiler are a lot lower
- New boilers and heating systems are a lot safer, with a much lower risk of harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide
- You can receive government support, so your new central heating system could cost less than you might think – you might even be able to get it for free!

Frequently asked questions
Under ECO, energy suppliers must promote measures that improve the ability
of low-income, fuel-poor, and vulnerable households to heat their homes.
Implementing these measures should result in reduced energy usage by
installing insulation.
The ECO scheme supports energy efficiency upgrades in the homes of those
considered to be in fuel poverty – both home owners and tenants.
Your property will need to be assessed to understand which specific
improvements would most benefit it. You must own your own home or have
permission from your landlord, including a social housing provider or
management company.
It is up to each energy supplier to determine which energy efficiency upgrades
will be funded. We'll work with the installers to understand which
improvements will benefit your property and how to fund them.
Any additional work to your home outside of the installation of energy-saving
recommendations from the survey will be at your expense, and we’ll let you
know before you agree to proceed.
