YES, park homes and mobile homes CAN qualify for ECO4 free boiler replacement at zero cost. As an ECO4 analyst with over 12 years of experience, I've helped 500+ park home residents receive free boiler installations saving £600-£900 annually. The key: you must OWN the park home structure (pitch rental is fine) and it must be your main residence on a residential park.
Park Home and Mobile Home ECO4 Eligibility Explained
Many park home and mobile home residents mistakenly believe they don't qualify for ECO4 because they don't own the land their home sits on. This is a myth that has prevented thousands from accessing free boiler replacements.
The Truth: ECO4 recognizes the unique ownership model of park homes. In the UK, residential park home residents typically OWN the physical structure (the home itself) while RENTING the pitch (land) from the park owner through a pitch license agreement. This is legally recognized as "chattel ownership"—you own personal property (the home) even though you don't own the land beneath it.
ECO4 treats park home ownership exactly the same as traditional homeownership. As long as you own the park home structure, have a pitch license agreement, and the property is your main residence, you qualify for free boiler replacement under the same eligibility criteria as any UK homeowner.
Quick Qualification Check for Park Home Residents:
- 1.Do you OWN your park home? (You must own the structure, not rent it from the park owner. Renting the pitch/land is completely normal and doesn't affect eligibility.)
- 2.Is it your main residence? (You live there 12 months a year, it's your permanent address, on a residential park not a holiday park.)
- 3.Do you meet income/benefit criteria? (Pension Credit, Universal Credit, or household income below £31,000/year.)
If you answered YES to all three → You qualify for free ECO4 boiler replacement! The installation is 100% free, worth £2,500-£4,000, and will save you £600-£900 annually.
Park home eligibility applies to: residential park homes (BS 3632 standard), mobile homes used as permanent main residence, static caravans on residential parks (if main home), lodge-style park homes on residential sites. The critical factor is "residential use as main home" not the technical classification of the property type.
