The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a UK Government energy efficiency scheme, to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions. At SwitchedOn Yorkshire, we install Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar PV, Internal Wall Insulation, Gas Boilers and Electric Storage Heaters under the ECO 4 scheme.
Under ECO, energy suppliers fund the installation of energy efficiency measures in British households. Each obligated supplier has an overall target based on its share of the domestic energy market in Britain.
The obligated energy suppliers work with installers – such as SwitchedOn – to introduce certain efficiency measures into your home, including loft or wall insulation, and heating measures.
The Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation requires energy suppliers to promote the installation of measures that lead to financial savings on energy bills, such as the installation of insulation and heating measures.
If you’re household income is below £31,000, OR you are in receipt of one of the following benefits, you may qualify:
Alternatively, if you are living in social housing with an EPC rating of E, F or G you might also be eligible for the scheme. Social housing with an EPC rating of D can also qualify for an innovation measure.
Local authorities are also able to refer residents in their areas to obligated energy suppliers so that they can be offered support under the scheme.
In order to benefit from ECO you must own your own home or have the permission of your landlord, including if your property is owned by a social housing provider or management company.
