The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) ECO4 is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions.
The ECO scheme means that the wealthy gas and electricity suppliers – including British Gas, EDF Energy, Eon, Ovo, Scottish Power, and SSE are obliged to help households with energy efficiency measures such as insulation, boiler replacement or repair and renewable energy systems. The scheme provides funding to help eligible people reduce the cost of their energy consumption and lower the carbon emissions from their home.
The Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO) requires energy suppliers to promote the installation of measures that lead to financial savings on energy bills, such as the installation of insulation and heating measures.

(Coming Soon)
The government is launching an expanded version of the ECO called the ECO+, in spring 2023. ECO+ will bring 100,000s of additional grants to fund insulation for homes that have low energy efficiency ratings and are in lower council tax bands.
Considering that 46.1% of fuel-poor households are not in receipt of government benefits and that only 42% of homes in England have an EPC rating of C or higher. The ECO+ Scheme has been introduced to ensure that all homes can access affordable energy.
ECO Plus is a brand-new government initiative, aimed at helping those not on government benefits upgrade the energy efficiency of their home.
The scheme comes into action from spring 2023 until 2026, and offers the same home upgrades as ECO4.

Found out about eco gen through Facebook. Install took a week.
Benefits Of The Installation
The team were friendly and professional. Always polite. Always on time. They cleaned up everything after them, every day. House is lovely and warm! The heating is working great. I had 1 heater that didn’t work correctly but after getting in touch with the team, they came back out and repaired it for me. I have already recommended the team to some other people and will definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for any work to be done.

I chose Eco Gen because they are a good company and Ritchie has done work for us before. It took no more than 3 days altogether. There was no mess or disruption in the house. The team were very polite, excellent.
Benefits of the install:
Haven’t used as much electricity off the grid. I would 100% recommend Eco Gen, no 200%! They have always done a good job with no problems.

Installation ASHP (Air Source Heat Pumps) and Solar PV.
I chose Eco Gen because they are local. The whole process took about a week in total. It was done in stages with the heat pump going in first. The boys were brilliant. They couldn’t have been more efficient or obliging. They were first class.
Benefits of the install:
It will be more economical eventually. Our electricity bill has gone up but what we’re saving in electric we are now saving in gas.
