The main goal of the ECO4 Scheme is to help households who are vulnerable to better heat their home and provide savings on their energy bills. The initiative aims to tackle the millions of households living in Fuel Poverty in the UK by offering services which would ordinarily be expensive to install, as part of a free grant.
The local authority flex scheme is ran under your local council to help provide access to grants to those who do not recieve benefits but are however on low income or classed as vulnerable to the effects of a cold home.
