Everything You Need to Know
What is the ECO4 scheme?
The ECO4 scheme is a government program that provides free or discounted boiler replacements to help low-income and vulnerable households reduce energy bills and improve heating efficiency.
How do I know if I’m eligible?
You may qualify if:
Your boiler is 7+ years old
You own or privately rent your home
Someone in your household receives government benefits (like Universal Credit or Child Benefit)
We’ll confirm everything after a quick eligibility check.
What documents will I need?
Usually just proof of benefits, your address, and some basic details about your home and current boiler. We’ll guide you step by step.
Who installs the new boiler?
Only certified, government-approved installers carry out the installation. We make sure everything meets safety and efficiency standards.
Who is eligible for a free boiler?
You may be eligible if:
You own or privately rent your home
Someone in your household receives government benefits (like Universal Credit, Child Benefit, etc.)
Your current boiler is old or inefficient
Is this really free? What’s the catch?
Yes, if you qualify, there’s no cost to you. The funding is provided by energy companies as part of their obligation to support UK homes in becoming more energy-efficient.
Can I choose the boiler brand or model?
We use high-quality, energy-efficient brands chosen to meet ECO4 standards. We’ll recommend the best option for your home.
