ECO is a government energy efficiency scheme which was set up to help customers in England, Wales and Scotland, to make their homes more energy efficient.

Under ECO, large energy companies such as British Gas, EDF, EON etc are required to deliver energy efficiency measures to domestic premises. It is up to the energy companies to determine which measures they choose to fund, the level of funding they provide and the installer they choose to work with.

Ofgem currently administers the scheme on behalf of the Department for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

Free boiler grants are available to those receiving certain benefits, from new boilers to insulation. It’s because of efficiency obligations to people in certain groups.

The cost of a new boiler varies, but a typical gas boiler replacement costs around £2,300, so this is a fantastic freebie.

Boilers are one of the biggest contributors to your energy bills – the more efficient your boiler, the more heat it produces from each gas unit. Depending on its age, a new efficient one could save you between £100 and £320 a year.

It is quite possible that you also qualify for home insulation grant. Cavity wall insulation grant can save between £70 and £225 off energy bills every year. If your loft isn’t insulated and you get it fitted with 270mm of new insulation, this’ll save another £120-£225 a year.

If your property is heated by electricity, oil, LPG or fossil fuel then you most likely qualify for Air Source Heat Pump plus Solar Panels Grant. The cost of such system will be in tens of thousands pounds, and the reduction of energy bills will be dramatic, as you can imagine.
