Quick answer
You may qualify for ECO4 if your household receives qualifying benefits, is on a low income, or includes a vulnerable occupant, and your home has an EPC rating of D-G. Final eligibility is confirmed by an approved installer.
ECO4 is delivered by larger energy suppliers and approved installers. The main routes are qualifying benefits, low household income with LA Flex referral, and vulnerable household status.
Households where someone is elderly, disabled, has a long-term health condition, or where children under five live, may be referred via LA Flex.
