How does ECO4 help?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a flagship government programme providing grants for energy efficient heating systems, with a strong focus on supporting UK households facing high energy bills, especially in rural and off-gas areas.
If your property isn't connected to mains gas and relies on electric, LPG, oil, or coal heating, you may receive fully funded upgrades. ECO4 and other rural energy grant schemes help replace outdated and costly systems with energy saving electric heaters or, where possible, alternative systems designed to deliver long-term savings.
What do I need to qualify?
To qualify for ECO4 funding for electric heaters, your home typically needs an EPC rating of D, E, F, or G. The scheme aims to help those who receive certain benefits, households with an annual income below £31,000, or individuals referred through council-backed ECO4 Flex options. At Rural Energy Saving Grants, we work in partnership with the UK's leading energy suppliers and adhere to strong quality-control standards regulated by Ofgem, all to maximise your opportunity for heating grants for UK households.
