The ECO 4 Boiler Grants scheme is a government initiative aimed at helping low-income families in Grimsby and Cleethorpes improve the energy efficiency of their homes. The scheme allows eligible homeowners to replace their old, inefficient boilers for free, providing them with a new, more efficient boiler that will help reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint.
To qualify for a new boiler on the ECO 4 scheme, you need to be the homeowner, and your current boiler must be broken or inefficient. You also need to receive at least one benefit, such as Income Support or Housing Benefit. This means that the scheme is targeted at those who are most in need of help with their energy bills.
All newly installed boilers under the ECO 4 scheme must be efficient, i.e. condensing, and must include a timer, a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on all radiators outside the room containing the thermostat. This is to ensure that the system is as efficient as possible and that you are not wasting energy unnecessarily. Installers must also carry out hydraulic balancing following the installation of the boiler to a wet central heating system to ensure that the central heating system is balanced.
If your property is heated by an inefficient heating system, such as a non-condensing boiler, it can be upgraded to an efficient boiler. This will not only help to reduce your energy bills, but it will also help to reduce your carbon footprint, which is good news for the environment. The EPC rating is a measure of the energy efficiency of your home. If your home has a low EPC rating, you may be eligible for additional funding to help improve its energy efficiency. This could include insulation, draught-proofing, or other energy-saving measures.

Suitable households can now obtain an ECO 4 grant, depending on their current circumstances and property type, and EPC rating.

They will be able to assess your Eligibility and provide you with all the information you need to apply for a grant. With their help, you could soon be enjoying the benefits of a new, more efficient boiler in your home.
