Energy Company Obligation Scheme (ECO4)

This government backed scheme is aimed at upgrading the housing stock across Scotland. Housing stock which is energy inefficient would be classed as properties which have a low EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of E, F or G. Normally these homes are provided with free insulation in conjunction with having an air source heat pump fitted under the ECO 4 scheme.

FREE Insulation under ECO 4 scheme

Insulation funding together with an air source heat pump

In order for your new air source heat pump to work as efficiently as possible then we must adopt a 'fabric first' approach to the energy upgrades done to your property. This means adequately insulating your home as well as installing an air source heat pump. Both measures are FREE. If you meet certain criteria including claiming a benefit and having an energy inefficient property.

FREE government funding is available to homes across Scotland

Energy Company Obligation (ECO). This scheme aims to lift households out of fuel poverty by improving the EPC rating of their property. It will also benefit the environment by reducing the amount of carbon emissions being released which is in line with the NET ZERO target adopted by the government. Insulating certain parts of your home (especially your roof and walls) can significantly reduce your energy bills and its all for FREE if you meet a couple of qualifying benefits. Head over to our website today to see if you meet the criteria! Its quick and simple and will only take a minute!

FREE Solid Wall Insulation under ECO 4 scheme

What is Sold Wall Insulation?

Solid Wall Insulation is installed in properties built with brick or solid stone.

Internal solid wall insulation is installed onto the interior of an exterior wall. It leaves a smooth, pleasant finish and will dramatically reduce the heat lost from your walls thereby reducing your energy bills. You could have this measure fitted for FREE under the ECO 4 scheme if you live in Scotland. Contact us at Eco warmth Scotland today.

FREE Cavity Wall Insulation under ECO 4 scheme

What is Cavity Wall Insulation?

Cavity Wall Insulation is insulation material installed in the space between the inner and outer wall of a building. Cavity wall insulation with Eco warmth Scotland under the ECO 4 scheme traps the warm air in and prevents air from circulating in the cavity. You will keep your much needed heat inside your house and benefit from the lower energy bills all year round whilst also benefiting the environment by cutting harmful carbon emissions. It can also be beneficial in reducing condensation which is the scourge of many Scottish homes and even prevent your home from getting too hot in the summer months.

Contact us today to see if your house would be perfect for cavity wall insulation. A useful website to access more information about all types of insulation is:

FREE Loft Insulation under ECO 4 scheme

Even if your property already has loft insulation chances are its not the correct depth! Loft Insulation must have a minimum depth to be effective at stopping heat loss. The average Scottish home loses about a quarter of its heat through the roof. The good news is you could qualify to have loft insulation fitted for FREE under the ECO 4 scheme if you meet certain criteria.

What is loft insulation?

Loft insulation is a barrier of material in your roof space. This material barrier laid between joists or rafters traps heat in and prevents heat loss. By installing the correct depth of loft insulation, you will save money on your energy bills whilst reducing carbon emissions at the same time. Your home will be kept warm during the cooler periods of the year and cool during the summer months. Win-win! Loft insulation can last a long time once installed so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the many benefits for years to come.

Even if you already have loft insulation, it's best to contact us as you may have the incorrect depth and be eligible for new insulation.

How is the ECO 4 scheme funded?

They are under 'obligation' to tackle fuel poverty across the UK and promote the journey to lowering carbon emissions.

Benefitting from a grant under ECO4 scheme in Scotland

We can measure the energy efficiency of your property by producing an EPC unique to your home. This will show your current rating which ranges from A (very efficient) to  G (very inefficient). Once the measure or measures have been installed then we can do a post-install EPC to show that your rating has improved.  Simply put,  the higher your EPC banding the lower your energy bills will be as your home is not needlessly wasting energy. All you have to do is fill in our straightforward quiz to start off the process.
