You can save energy by improving insulation, using energy-efficient appliances, optimizing heating and cooling systems, and practicing energy-conscious habits like turning off lights when not in use.

ECO4 is the fourth stage of the UK government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. The main objective of ECO4 is to improve the least energy efficient housing stock occupied by low income and vulnerable households¹². The ECO scheme is a government energy efficiency scheme for Great Britain, administered by Ofgem. Through the ECO4 Scheme, homes could receive discounted (or free) home insulation, an upgraded boiler or green heating system.

ECO4 is a government funding scheme available to low-income households in the UK who are referred by their doctor/energy provider or qualify for certain benefits. The scheme provides grants to fund energy-efficient upgrades to homes, including central heating upgrades and insulation. The goal of the grant is to help vulnerable people power their homes while also helping the country reach its net zero by 2050 goal. The scheme is part of the Energy Company

ECO4 is the updated government initiative to boost energy efficiency in the UK, specifically targeting lower-income households affected by fuel poverty.

You can implement various energy-saving measures to reduce energy consumption and save on utility bills. These include improving insulation in your home through measures like loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, or solid wall insulation. Upgrading to energy-efficient heating systems such as condensing boilers or heat pumps can also significantly reduce energy usage. Installing smart thermostats allows for better control of temperature settings and optimization of energy usage. Additionally, consider replacing traditional bulbs with energy-efficient LED or CFL bulbs and upgrading to energy-efficient appliances. Exploring renewable energy options like solar panels can further contribute to energy savings and a greener home. Conducting an energy audit or seeking professional advice can help determine the most suitable measures for your specific needs and maximize your energy-saving

The amount you save depends on the specific measures implemented, but energy savings can range from 10% to 30% or more of your energy consumption.
