What kinds of Funding?
The ECO4 scheme is part of the UK government’s Energy Company Obligation, designed to reduce fuel poverty and cut carbon emissions. It offers grants for home energy upgrades like loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, air source heat pumps, and more. If your home is inefficient or you receive certain benefits, you may qualify — and the funding could cover most or all of the work.
However, home energy efficiency is difficult: difficult to understand, disruptive to the household and often less effective than expected. We are changing that, including helping you find the right funding and guiding you through the process. We’re here to make it easy.
Who Can Apply for Home Funding in Scotland?
ECO4 funding is available to homeowners and private tenants across Scotland, including in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and the West of Scotland. You may be eligible if:
- Your home has a low EPC rating (typically E, F or G)
- You or someone in your household receives qualifying benefits
- You live in an area targeted for retrofit support
Not sure if you qualify? We can help you check your eligibility — fast and free.
eCO4 funds retrofit changes that save the planet
Climate change is already a threat to our buildings, many of which have significant heritage value. Stronger winds and more intense wind-driven rainfall make proper maintenance more important than ever. Weather extremes such as the 2018 heat wave and the -10C cold snap in February 2021 make home comfort harder to achieve. These problems will continue to get worse until we stop burning oil, coal and gas.
Scotland’s international commitments to achieving net zero carbon emissions demand a revolution in almost every part of our lives. Decarbonising the ways in which we heat our homes is one the hardest parts of this challenge. The lowest overall cost to taxpayer, bill payer and ‘home maintainer’ will come from a mixture of investments in both energy efficiency and renewables.
