ECO 4 CHECKER

To be eligible for the ECO4 scheme, applicants must meet specific criteria that ensure support is directed towards those who can benefit the most from energy-efficient home improvements. Here are the key requirements you need to be aware of:

1. Property Eligibility: The ECO4 scheme is available for both homeowners and residential landlords. The property in question must be located in the UK and could be a house, a flat, or a residential building.

2. Household Income: One of the primary criteria for eligibility is household income. Applicants must fall within certain income thresholds, which vary depending on the region and household size. Proof of income will be required as part of the application process.

3. Energy Efficiency Status: The current energy efficiency status of your home also plays a crucial role. Homes that are less energy efficient are given priority to ensure that the improvements make a significant impact. An initial energy assessment may be conducted to determine your home’s suitability.

4. Benefit Qualifications: Households receiving specific government benefits may automatically qualify for the scheme. These benefits include Universal Credit, Pension Guarantee Credit, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, and others. It’s important to have official documentation as proof of benefit receipt.

5. Local Authority Flexibility: Under the ECO4 scheme, local authorities have the flexibility to refer households that they believe are in significant need of energy efficiency improvements, even if they do not meet the standard eligibility criteria. This ensures that support is extended to vulnerable populations that might otherwise be overlooked.

If you meet the criteria above, you could be eligible for substantial support under the ECO4 scheme to make your home more energy-efficient. Start your application process today by contacting us, and let’s make your living space a greener, more comfortable environment for you and your family.
