ECO4 Grant Gov.uk Official

Yes, ECO4 is an official UK government scheme legislated by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. It's regulated by Ofgem and requires larger energy suppliers to fund energy efficiency improvements. While you won't apply directly through gov.uk, the scheme is fully government-backed and approved.

You apply through approved installers like FreeBoilerUpgrade.uk who work directly with obligated energy suppliers. The process: (1) Check eligibility online, (2) Free home survey, (3) Grant application submitted to energy supplier, (4) Installation by Gas Safe engineers. We handle all paperwork and liaise with government-approved suppliers.

ECO4 government grants range from £2,000 for insulation to £15,000 for first-time central heating. Standard boiler replacements are funded up to £10,000. Air source heat pumps can receive up to £12,000. The exact amount depends on your property's assessment and energy efficiency needs.

Eligibility: (1) Receiving qualifying benefits (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, etc.), (2) Household income under £31,000 via LA Flex, or (3) Disability/health benefits (PIP, DLA, Attendance Allowance). Property must have EPC rating D-G. Homeowners and private tenants with permission can apply.

ECO4 is a 100% government grant, NOT a loan. There is no repayment required, no interest charges, and no credit checks. The funding comes from energy suppliers who are legally obligated by the UK government to improve energy efficiency. Once installed, all improvements are yours permanently.
