FAQs

Do I need to be on benefits to qualify?

Not always. While many grants are aimed at people on certain benefits, local authority schemes (such as LaFlex) can also help low-income households and vulnerable individuals who are not receiving benefits.

Are home improvement grants really free?

Yes. ECO4 and other schemes provide non-repayable grants, meaning you do not need to pay the money back. All costs are covered through government and energy supplier funding.

Can private tenants apply?

Yes, tenants can apply if they meet the eligibility criteria. However, they must have their landlord’s permission for any upgrades. Landlords cannot apply directly, but supporting tenants can improve the property’s value.

What type of improvements are covered?

Grants cover a wide range of upgrades including loft and wall insulation, boiler replacements, heat pumps, smart meters, solar panels, and draught-proofing.

How long does the process take?

Once eligibility is confirmed, installation can usually be completed within a few weeks, depending on the property and type of improvement.

What is ECO4?

ECO4 is the fourth phase of the government’s Energy Company Obligation scheme. It provides free home energy improvements to reduce carbon emissions, cut fuel poverty, and make homes more efficient.

Can landlords benefit?

Indirectly, yes. Landlords cannot claim grants themselves, but if tenants qualify, the property will be upgraded, increasing comfort, energy efficiency, and overall value.
