ECO4 Flex

ECO4 Flex was created to provide local authorities with more funding to identify residents who would benefit from home upgrades, even if they don't meet the standard eligibility criteria for ECO4.

With ECO4 Flex, households don't have to be on benefits to qualify for funding.

To qualify for ECO4 Flex:

• Your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating must be between E-G if you rent or D-G if you own your home
• You must also have a combined household income of less than £31,000

Or, if you meet the EPC criteria, you can qualify for ECO4 Flex if you meet the following:

• Your home is within a specific postcode identified by your local council*
• You receive a council tax rebate (single-person occupancy excluded)
• You are identified as vulnerable to living in a cold home: someone in the home is pregnant, disabled or elderly, you have children under five, or someone in the home has a medical condition
• Your child receives free school meals
• Your home is identified as being in debt to your energy provider

Another way to qualify is if you are identified by your GP as vulnerable to the cold and on a low income.

If you would like to apply for the scheme or find out more about eligibility criteria, please visit the Act on Energy website.
