ECO Boiler Scheme
In the past decade, the Government of the UK has taken some effective initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint and greenhouse gases, creating a more sustainable environment. The Energy Company Obligation’s Boiler Scheme is one of the shining stars of these efforts, which is put into effect to help low-income households receive efficient boilers, reduce their carbon footprint, and increase their energy efficiency.
Green Home Grants UK has helped numerous households receive fast and efficient boiler grants over the years and elevate their living standards. You can follow our application process to get your free ECO boiler grant.
Started in 2013, the ECO Scheme is a multipurpose initiative of the Government of the UK, which mainly aims to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the country by providing efficient heating solutions to low-income households.
In this scheme, the Government of the UK has obliged the major energy companies to provide cutting-edge heating solutions to the vulnerable households that meet the eligibility criteria. These solutions are funded by the Government and are available all across England, Wales and Scotland.
Following are the 6 biggest companies that are obliged by the Government in the ECO Scheme:
- British Gas
