Keeping your home warm during winter can be costly, especially if your property isn’t well-insulated. If you reside in Cambridge, you might be eligible for a Solid Wall Insulation grant through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme to help lower-income households cut their energy bills.
Securing this grant means installing insulation boards in your home at no additional cost. Here are the tangible advantages:
The ECO 4 grants extend to tenants as well as homeowners. Eco-Home Network is committed to improving homes' energy efficiency and environmental impact across Cambridge.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, a grant can be accessed to cover the full cost of external wall insulation in your home.
The methods vary depending on your property’s specifications. Typical approaches include external, internal, and cavity wall insulation. The crux is meeting the ECO scheme’s eligibility requirements.
According to local data, acrylic render is often the most affordable insulation method available through the ECO scheme, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
The choice is situational. External wall insulation offers superior thermal performance but may require planning permission and be more expensive. Internal insulation is usually cheaper and quicker to install but may reduce living space.
The ECO scheme guidelines are prone to change, so even if you think you may not qualify, it’s worth investigating. Use our eligibility form or call us at 0333 577 5852 to embark on the journey to a more energy-efficient and comfortable home in Cambridge.
