ECO Grants

The ECO scheme aims to help tenants and homeowners reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. We provide assessments, completion of work and funder submission.

Energy Company Obligation

ECO Grants support energy improvements such as

  • insulating lofts and cavity walls

  • upgrading boilers

  • installing alternative sources of energy, such as solar power

ECO 4

The government has also suggested enacting an ECO4 'minimum requirement,' which would force properties with an EPC rating of F or G to meet at least band D after upgrades.

This also applies to properties with an EPC band of D or E that must be upgraded to an EPC band of C. Partially deflated project scores may be given to projects that do not meet these conditions.

This is all part of the government's strategy towards achieving the goal of upgrading as many energy inefficient homes as possible to EPC band C by 2030.

Free Energy Improvement Grants may be available to tenants or home owners who receive the following:

  • Armed Forces Independence Payment

  • Attendance Allowance

  • Carers Allowance

  • Child Tax Credits

  • Constant Attendance

  • Disability Living Allowance

  • Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)

  • Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit

  • Income Related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

  • Income Support

  • Pension Guarantee Credit

  • Personal Independence Payment

  • Severe Disablement Allowance

  • Universal Credit

  • War Pensions Mobility Supplement

  • Working Tax Credits

Alternatively, tenants may be eligible for the scheme if they live in social housing with an EPC rating of E, F, or G. An innovation measure may be available for social housing with an EPC rating of D. Diversity Energy can advise on your eligibility.

Heating Upgrades

Assessment and upgrade of heating systems towards improving heat capacity and lowering energy use and costs.

Internal Wall Insulation

Internal Wall Insulation (IWI) involves adding an insulated layer to external walls to increase the thermal resistance and prevent heat escaping through the walls.

Underfloor Insulation

Installing insulation materials beneath the floorboards of a property or on a concrete floor can aid retention and save energy and associated costs.

Loft Insulation

Installing insulation in the rafters or joists in roofs can prevent heat escaping from the roof by trapping heat to prevent loss.

Room In Roof Insulation

Insulation can be installed in a room in the roof space or underneath the roof space, for example an attic or loft conversion, to help retain heat and also to increase water resistance.
