Benefits of the ECO 4 Scheme
Lifetime savings can help you utilise the energy company obligation and other local authority FLEX schemes to improve your property’s energy efficiency. Here are a few examples of what our grant scheme will give you:
If your house has inadequate insulation you will use a lot more energy trying to maintain warmth in winter and a cool home during summer. This inevitably results in very high and costly energy bills. An eco-affordable warmth scheme will not only reduce your fuel costs but potentially make insulation free of charge, cutting down on your overall energy usage.
Securing a grant scheme that enables you to make energy-saving improvements to your home will increase the energy efficiency rating of your property. This will make your home much more environmentally friendly and also potentially more attractive to potential buyers/renters in the future.
With an affordable grant, you can carry out energy-efficient changes to your home that will maintain a consistent overall temperature throughout your home. This in turn will reduce energy costs further as you will not need to adjust the thermostat for each room.
Finally, with the energy company obligation scheme, you may be able to qualify for free insulation or heating energy measures. Ensuring your property’s heating and insulation are up to date and of high quality will ensure that your home stays comfortable year-round and is much more energy efficient.
Energy Efficient Measures
Several obligation rules are placed on large energy suppliers to ensure improved ability for low-income, fuel-poor and vulnerable households to heat their homes. Resulting in reduced energy usage, fuel costs and warmer homes. This mainly applies to homes that have a gas main connection and it is worth submitting an application using the link below to see if you qualify for individual or multiple services.
Many properties are “off-grid” and are not able to have gas central heating and over time the government have improved the grant schemes in line with reducing the UK’s carbon footprint. This also benefits the homeowners who are currently paying high costs for electric heating, oil or LPG. There are multiple ways you could qualify for this formerly named “Green Homes grant” to make energy improvements to your home under the newer affordable warmth obligation and ECO schemes.
The Lifetime Savings team has a wealth of experience in supporting you in qualifying and obtaining a government-funded grant to save you covering the cost of these improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions about ECO4
What is the ECO4 Scheme?
The ECO4 Scheme is the latest UK government initiative to improve household energy efficiency. It replaces ECO3 and focuses on low-income households, offering grants for insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable technologies.
Who is eligible for the ECO4 Scheme?
Eligibility is primarily based on income, benefits, and property type. Households receiving certain benefits or living in properties with low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings may qualify. Specific criteria can vary, so it’s advisable to check with the scheme provider.
What improvements can I receive through the ECO4 Scheme?
Eligible homeowners can receive free or subsidised measures such as cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, boiler replacements, and central heating upgrades, depending on individual circumstances.
How do I apply for the ECO4 Scheme?
Applications can be made through accredited providers like Lifetime Savings. The process typically involves a free survey to assess your property’s needs and determine eligibility.
What is the ECO3 Scheme?
ECO3 was the previous phase of the ECO scheme, running from 2018 to 2022, offering similar grants for energy efficiency improvements. It has largely been replaced by ECO4.
How do ECO schemes differ (ECO3 vs ECO4)?
ECO4 focuses more on low-income households and low-energy performance properties, while ECO3 had a broader eligibility range. ECO4 also places greater emphasis on low-carbon heating technologies.
How much funding is available for solid wall insulation under ECO?
Funding varies depending on property type, location, and household income. In some cases, eligible households can receive full funding for solid wall insulation. A survey from an accredited provider is needed to confirm exact amounts.
How does ECO funding work for boilers or double glazing?
ECO funding can cover the cost of replacing inefficient boilers and, in some cases, improving windows or heating systems. The level of support depends on household eligibility and energy savings potential.
When will the next ECO funding or ECO+ scheme be released?
Exact release dates for future ECO+ schemes are announced by the UK government. Accredited providers usually have up-to-date information and can advise eligible households when new funding becomes available.
