Eco 4 Grants
ECO FRIENDLY HOMES
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government project; it is also known as ECO4 grants. It is to provide support in domestic energy. This support improves domestic energy efficiency measures. The measures such as replacement of oil boiler with air source heat pump, replacement of less efficient LPG & gas boilers with new and more energy efficient boilers & electric storage heaters, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, and loft insulation are the key focus. These are the best consideration for lower-income households.
A great aid from your energy supplier is the affordable warmth obligation.
You must be able to get help from your energy supplier. The aid is concerning energy-saving improvements to your home. It does not matter whether you live in your own individual home or you have an apartment at rent. The thing that matters is how you can improve energy-saving in your house. You can also claim certain benefits from your energy supplier.
