What in the world is La-flex

LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility) is like a special version of the ECO4 scheme with looser rules. It’s still about making homes more energy-efficient, but it helps people who don’t qualify for the regular ECO4 scheme.  

Here’s the key difference:

• ECO4: Mostly for people on certain benefits or with very low incomes.  
• LA Flex: Helps people who are struggling with energy bills but don’t get those benefits. Maybe they just miss the income requirements or have slightly higher earnings.  

Think of it like this:

Imagine a club with a strict entry policy (ECO4). LA Flex is like a side entrance with a more relaxed bouncer. You might still need to show you’re struggling to pay for heating, but you don’t need to meet all the same requirements as the main entrance.

Important note:

• Local councils decide: Each council sets its own rules for who qualifies in their area.
• Same improvements: You can still get things like insulation and boiler upgrades.  

Essentially, LA Flex widens the net to help more people save energy and money, even if they don’t fit the standard ECO4 mold.
