The scheme covers various types of boilers, ensuring that homeowners can upgrade to more energy-efficient models, saving on heating bills and reducing their environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to your most common questions here.
Yes, under the ECO4 scheme, eligible households can receive a free boiler replacement. To qualify, you typically need to be a homeowner or private tenant with landlord permission, have a boiler that's at least 8 years old, and meet certain income or benefit criteria.
The ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation phase 4) is a UK government-backed initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in low-income households. It provides funding for energy-saving measures, including free boiler replacements, to eligible households. The scheme is primarily targeted at homeowners and private tenants with inefficient heating systems and low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings (D, E, F, or G).
You may be entitled to a replacement boiler if:
- You own your home or are a private tenant with landlord consent.
- Your existing boiler is inefficient or over 8 years old.
- Your household income is below £31,000, or you receive qualifying benefits.
- Your property has an EPC rating of D or lower.
The cost of replacing a boiler without any grants can range from £2,000 to £4,500, depending on the type and complexity of the installation. However, under schemes like ECO4, eligible households can have their boilers replaced free of charge.
Absolutely. Older boilers are typically less efficient, operating at around 65% efficiency, meaning you could be wasting 35p of every pound spent on heating. Modern A-rated boilers operate at over 90% efficiency, potentially saving you up to £300 annually on energy bills.
Yes, individuals over 60 may qualify for a free boiler grant if they receive Pension Credit or Working Tax Credit. Being over 60 alone doesn't automatically qualify you; it's the combination of age and receiving specific benefits that determines eligibility.
Yes, even if you're not on benefits, you might still qualify under the ECO4 scheme if your household income is below £31,000 or someone in your household has a qualifying health condition.
Yes, pensioners receiving Pension Credit or other qualifying benefits can access free boiler replacement grants under the ECO4 scheme. Additionally, some schemes consider health conditions or low income as eligibility criteria, even if specific benefits aren't received.
No, receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) alone does not qualify you for a free boiler under the current ECO4 scheme. However, if your household income is below £31,000 or you receive other qualifying benefits, you may still be eligible.
If you're disabled and receive certain disability-related benefits (excluding PIP) or have a household income below £31,000, you may qualify for a free boiler under the ECO4 scheme. Eligibility also depends on factors like property ownership and the age/efficiency of your current boiler.
