High energy bills are a pressing concern for many residents in Brighton, particularly during the colder months. The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme is a timely intervention that extends solid wall insulation grants to Brighton low-income households.
If you match these requirements, the grant will cover the full installation cost of internal insulation boards in your home. Here are the numerous benefits you stand to gain:
The ECO 4 grants are available not just for homeowners but also for tenants. The Eco-Home Network is dedicated to fostering energy-efficient and eco-friendly homes across Brighton. Both landlords and tenants can apply for these grants to make homes more energy-efficient.
If you meet the Eligibility criteria, you can procure a grant to cover the costs of external wall insulation for your home.
Options can vary based on property characteristics, but common techniques include internal, external, and cavity wall insulation. The key factor is adhering to the ECO scheme’s specific eligibility requirements.
According to local reports, the acrylic render appears to be the most affordable choice under the ECO scheme but is limited to those who meet the eligibility criteria.
Each option has its pros and cons. External insulation is generally more effective in forming a thermal barrier but may be more expensive and require planning permission. Internal insulation is often cheaper and quicker to implement, albeit at the cost of room space.
Regulations around the ECO scheme are subject to change. If you’re uncertain about your eligibility status, taking immediate action is prudent. Fill out our eligibility form or ring 0333 577 5852 right away to take your first step toward a more energy-efficient home in Brighton.
