ECO4 - Nationwide

The ECO scheme is designed to encourage both tenants and homeowners considered to be in fuel poverty to install energy efficiency measures in their home. The ECO4 scheme was launched in 2022 and covers a four-year period until 31 March 2026.

The scheme works by placing a Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO) on medium and large energy suppliers. Under HHCRO, obligated suppliers must promote measures that improve the ability of low-income, fuel-poor and vulnerable households to heat their homes. This includes actions that result in reduced energy usage, such as installing insulation or upgrading a heating system.

As one of the contractors participating in this scheme, MacBrookGas has been thoroughly checked to ensure we have the relevant expertise and qualifications to deliver home energy improvements.

ECO4 is a nationwide scheme and households can be deemed eligible if they receive at least one of the following benefits:

  • Child Benefit
  • Pension Guarantee Credit
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
  • Income Support
  • Tax Credits (Child Tax Credits and Working Tax Credits)
  • Universal Credit
  • Housing benefit
  • Pension credit saving credit

Local authorities are also able to refer residents in their areas to obligated energy suppliers so that they can be offered support under ECO Flex.
