ECO stands for the Energy Company Obligation which is a scheme where customers may be able to get help for energy saving improvements to their home if on certain benefits and own or privately rent their home.
It is important that you enquire now to find out whether you are entitled to any grants under ECO as the ECO Funding will not last indefinitely.
How Eco Funding Works
The ECO scheme can run alongside Green Deal but under ECO, customers may be entitled to all or part of the cost of loft or cavity wall insulation and boiler repairs or replacements
