ECO 4 Funding Scheme
We assist many clients with retrofit services, from assessments (including technical surveys with associated ECO qualifying evidence), to design, coordination, lodgement, and retrofit evaluation.
Helping clients process energy efficiency measures through ECO funding.
With ECO 4 now active we support our clients in offering the whole house approach required to install the appropriate viable energy-saving measures at their client’s properties.
What is ECO 4?
ECO, or Energy company obligation, is a government-led scheme aimed at helping low-income families reduce their energy bills by creating a more efficient home.
The scheme requires the big energy companies to help out by providing measures to cut the cost of energy bills. This could be done through added insulation or a more efficient boiler, for example.
If you're eligible, you could get a large chunk off the cost of insulating your home or, in some cases, even get it free!
The ECO 4 scheme has now come into play, which encompasses The Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO). This encourages energy companies to take a whole-house approach, finding multiple ways to offer customers financial savings on energy bills.
