To provide energy-saving heating and insulation improvements for low-income and vulnerable households using ECO funding

ENERGY COMPANY OBLIGATION (ECO)
Is a legal commitment by the big six energy suppliers to provide funding for the most deprived households in the UK. They must facilitate energy reduction measures to alleviate fuel poverty and the best way to help is to provide free insulation and upgraded heating measures to those that may qualify for such assistance.

Affordable Warmth Obligation
To provide heating and insulation improvements for low-income and vulnerable households (but social housing tenants are not eligible for affordable warmth). There are complex eligibility criteria for this means-tested scheme. Call us on 01254 66 33 22 to check whether you might be eligible, and to how apply if you are.

Carbon Saving Obligation
To provide funding to insulate solid-walled properties (internal and external wall insulation) and those with ‘hard-to-treat’ cavity walls. This is not means-tested but can be used in conjunction with the Green Deal. The aim is to provide enough support to make these relatively expensive measures cost-effective.

Carbon Saving Communities Obligation
To provide insulation measures to people living in the bottom 15% of the UK's most deprived areas. It is expected that this element of ECO will particularly benefit the social housing sector. Through ECO, the government aims to help 230, 000 low-income households or those in low-income areas. Of the expected investment by suppliers of £1. 3bn per year, there will be a 75: 25 split between the carbon and affordable warmth obligations.

Timescales for Green Deal and ECO
All elements of the Green Deal and ECO Framework are now available. We are conducting assessments for GREEN DEAL and securing FREE qualifing measures under ECO.
