The broader Energy Company Obligation framework requires major energy suppliers to fund energy-efficiency measures across the UK. ECO4 is the current phase (2022-2026); ECO5 is in consultation. Beyond fully-funded ECO4 packages, partial-contribution top-ups exist for some measures.

Common questions
What is ECO vs ECO4 vs ECO Flex? +
ECO is the umbrella scheme. ECO4 is the current phase. ECO Flex (LA Flex) is the local authority referral route for households who don't hit the standard benefits criteria but are still fuel-poor.
Can I get ECO funding for solar? +
In some ECO4 packages, yes — usually combined with ASHP or insulation. Solar-only ECO funding is rarer.
Which suppliers fund ECO? +
The large licensed suppliers (British Gas, EDF, E.ON, Octopus, OVO, ScottishPower, Shell). Customer choice of supplier doesn't affect eligibility — the scheme is collectively funded.
How do I know if I qualify? +
Best route is a free eligibility check with us — we test against current ECO4 + LA Flex criteria in around 10 minutes.
What if I don't qualify for ECO? +
Look at HES loan + grant combinations, or 0% finance via Ideal4Finance (FRN 703401). We model all routes at quote.
