What Is The Eco4 Scheme?
The ECO4 scheme is a government program in the UK that helps people make their homes more energy-efficient. This means using less energy to keep warm and saving money on energy bills.
Here’s how it works:
- Energy companies have to help: The government requires energy companies to help people save energy.
- Grants for home improvements: The companies provide grants to pay for things like:
- Insulation: Keeping your house warm by adding insulation to your loft or walls.
- New boilers: Replacing old, inefficient boilers with new ones that use less energy.
- Other upgrades: There might be other things you can get help with too, like new heating systems.
- Who can get it?: It’s mainly for people on low incomes or in fuel poverty (struggling to pay energy bills). You usually need to own your home or rent from a private landlord.
Think of it like this: Imagine the government wants to help people stay warm and save money. They tell energy companies to give some money to those who need it most to make their homes cosier and cheaper to run. That’s the ECO4 scheme in a nutshell!
