The Energy Company Obligation (also called The ECO scheme) is a UK government run energy efficiency scheme that aims to cut carbon emissions and combat fuel poverty. The scheme requires Britain's medium to large electricity and gas suppliers to help financially households that are eligible to become more energy efficient.
The ECO scheme was launched at the beginning of 2013 and is currently in its third year of funding. This version is referred to under the designation ECO3 and is open to those living in the UK. The scheme is free and allows households that qualify for financial assistance to pay for the entire price or the part of heating and insulation improvements.
The scheme requires the major energy companies to the UK to enhance the capacity of vulnerable and energy poor households to heat their homes across the country. Grants for boilers made by gas are available to claim and will allow you to fix your damaged, old or underperforming boiler. At Boiler Repair Leicester, we can offer these free boiler Leicester grants by contacting your local, reputable and certified ECO installer.
