Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Energy Company Obligation (ECO)?

The so-called ‘Big Six’ energy companies have made funding of £1.3 billion per year available as part of the Green Deal scheme. This funding is available to make energy-efficient improvements to most properties.

Why should I make my property more energy efficient?

The more energy-efficient your home is, the less energy you use. This means you will save money on your energy bills while reducing your carbon footprint and helping to reduce the impact on the environment.

Why should I replace my boiler?

If your boiler is old it can be very inefficient and you could be wasting up to half the gas you pay for! Get it professionally replaced by using the funding available to you and make sure it is an A-Rated appliance for the very best in energy efficiency.

Is ECO a loan?

No. ECO is a grant to provide funding which can be used for improvements to the energy efficiency of your home and does not need to be paid back. ECO is not available for all energy efficiency work and will sometimes depend on certain eligibility criteria. However, please be aware that as part of their job, your DEA/GDA (Domestic Energy Assessor/Green Deal Advisor) needs to show you what ECO funding you qualify for during the assessment.

Do I have to pay for my free boiler to be installed?

No. The ECO funding used for your free boiler also covers the installation of the boiler and the removal of your old one. You do not have to pay for anything.
