Find answers about the UK Government’s ECO4 Energy Efficiency Scheme and how you can qualify for free home improvements through EPCGovGrant.co.uk.
The EPC Government Grant is part of the UK Government’s ECO4 Energy Efficiency Scheme. It helps households reduce energy bills and carbon emissions by providing free or subsidised home upgrades such as insulation, boiler replacements, and renewable heating systems.
You may qualify if:
- Your home has an EPC rating of D, E, F, or G
- You receive qualifying government benefits such as:
- Universal Credit
- Pension Credit
- Income Support
- Child Tax Credit
- Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Working Tax Credit
The grant covers several energy-efficient home improvements, including:
- Boiler replacement grants
- Loft and wall insulation
- Floor insulation
- Air source heat pumps
- Solar panel installation
- Heating control upgrades
In most cases, no payment is required — the ECO4 grant covers the full cost of installation. Some properties may need a small contribution depending on EPC rating and insulation status.
