The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government-backed scheme designed to help low-income households reduce fuel bills and improve energy efficiency.
See If You QualifyFunding is available for households on certain income-related benefits to replace an old, inefficient boiler with a brand-new condensing boiler.
ECO Boiler Grants are completely free for most households, and there’s nothing to pay back once your new boiler is installed.
The homeowner boiler scheme was initiated in order to provide eligible occupants across the UK with efficient and affordable heating. Our research has shown that boiler models that are over seven years in age only operate at around 65% of their full efficiency. This means that as much as much as 35p of every pound spent on heating costs is being wasted. As a comparison, your new A-rated boiler would run at no less than 93% efficiency, meaning a loss of 7p per pound at most.
If you qualify by having a boiler over seven years old, being a homeowner currently receiving one or more of the major government benefits listed, or have certain health conditions made worse by the cold, it’s well worth starting the application process.
Older boilers (7+ years) typically run at only 65% efficiency, meaning around 35p of every £1 spent on heating is wasted.
