ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation, Phase 4) is a UK government-backed scheme that helps households make their homes more energy efficient. It’s mainly aimed at low-income or vulnerable households such as a person living in the property suffering from a health condition worsened by the cold, or receiving certain benefits, and those living in homes with a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Eligibility depends on your income, the benefits you receive, and how energy-efficient your home currently is.
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a separate initiative focusing mainly on insulation upgrades for homes with poor energy efficiency ratings. Unlike ECO4, it’s open to a wider range of households, though you’ll still need to meet certain criteria, such as having a low EPC rating or living in a council tax band A–D home (A–E in Scotland and Wales).
HUG2 is designed for off-gas homes in England that have low energy efficiency ratings and lower household incomes. It helps fund a variety of improvements, from insulation to renewable heating systems, to reduce energy costs for homes not connected to the main gas grid.
In most cases, you can’t receive funding from multiple schemes for the same measure (e.g., loft insulation). However, you might qualify for different upgrades under different schemes, depending on your circumstances. We can help check this for you.
Eligible upgrades typically include:

Loft, cavity wall, and solid wall insulation

Floor and roof insulation

Heating upgrades (e.g., replacing old, inefficient boilers or switching to heat pumps)

Solar panels

Smart heating controls

The exact measures depend on the scheme and your home’s needs.
