In Scotland, solar PV systems offer a sustainable, growing solution to harness solar power. The country's long summer daylight hours enable ample energy generation, allowing homeowners and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and save on energy costs.
Air source heat pumps offer energy-efficient heating lowering both carbon emissions and energy bills. They function effectively in diverse climates and require minimal maintenance.
A-rated boilers deliver exceptional efficiency, significantly reducing energy consumption and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. These high-performance boilers contribute to big cost savings on energy bills for homeowners, while offering reliable and consistent heating.
Home insulation offers many benefits, including improved energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, and lower energy bills. By minimising temperature fluctuations, insulation creates a comfortable living environment year-round.

The energy efficiency measures available through ECO4 scheme consultation are given via eligibility criteria. If you are on qualifying benefits, and you’re a homeowner or a private tenant, you are likely to be eligible for support from energy suppliers via this scheme from April last year.
If you’re a landlord and your tenant claims benefits, you may encourage them to apply for the grant, thus improving your property energy efficiency for years to come by installing free electric storage heaters
or fulfilling insulation grants such as free cavity wall insulation or loft insulation grant.
If you’re not on benefits, but your home is still energy inefficient, you might be eligible for the scheme through flexible eligibility (LAFlex) program that some councils participate in.
The minimum requirement benefits that qualify for the ECO4 fund are different to those of the past. This is an attempt to fulfil the carbon saving obligation of energy suppliers by providing support and grants to low income and vulnerable homes through energy efficiency installers.
Included in the Company Obligation ECO 4 2002 are:
Homeowners or Private Tenants
Individuals who get income-related benefits
Properties with inefficient electric heating
Child Tax Credits (CTC)
Child Benefits - depends on income threshold* (see thresholds)
Income based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA)

Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
Universal Credit (UC)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA)*
Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB)*
Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Severe Disablement Allowance*

*Claiming disability facilities grant or disability-related benefits may not qualify for ECO4 directly but if you were claiming these in the past you’re likely to receive Universal Credit now which may allow you to apply for the new scheme.
...By using clean, renewable energy, solar PV panels can also reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
By using electricity efficiently to generate heat, ASHPs can lead to lower energy bills, especially when replacing less efficient heating systems.
Insulation helps to regulate the temperature in your home, so you can enjoy a more comfortable living environment year-round..
