Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and ECO Flex

ECO is the Government's main energy efficiency grant funding programme for privately owned and rented UK households.

You might be able to get help for energy-saving improvements to your home if you either:

• claim certain benefits and live in private housing (for example you own your home or rent from a private landlord)
• live in social housing

You may get help with the cost of:

• insulation work, for example to your loft or cavity walls
• replacing or repairing your boiler - or other upgrades to your heating.
