You will start to feel the benefits of the measures we provide instantly. The information below from the Energy Savings Trust gives you an idea, by property type and size, as to what those savings equate to: –

Type of property and typical Savings per year (source Figures based on a typical gas-heated home. All data obtained from the Energy Saving Trust)

Detached house (four bedrooms) – save £275 per year

Semi-detached house (three bedrooms) – save £160 per year

Mid-terrace house (three bedrooms) – save £105 per year

Detached bungalow (two bedrooms) – save £110 per year

The scheme is part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) which was passed in Parliament in 2012 and runs until 2022. Funded by the UK’s largest utility companies, the scheme is part of the Home Heating Carbon Reduction Obligation (HHRCO) and contributes to the UK’s carbon reduction targets. It aims to provide private homeowners on qualifying benefits to receive both a free boiler and free insulation, with the overarching aim to reduce fuel poverty amongst low-income households. This is done by ensuring that heat is generated as efficiently as possible and is prevented from escaping from the home.

This means that qualifying households will be playing their part in reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2050. You can check whether you are eligible for this scheme by completing a simple pro forma here.

UK home owners could be eligible for a fully funded, or heavily discounted, boiler along with receiving free, or heavily discounted, insulation which will result in cheaper energy bills as your home becomes more energy efficient. See the link to household saving table below for more information.

We provide an end-to-end full service, so from the point of being accepted onto the scheme, you could be enjoying your free boiler and free insulation within 3-4 weeks.

Insulation installation usually takes 2-4 hours depending on property size.

Cavity Wall Extraction usually takes 1-3 days.

Boiler installation usually takes up to 4 hours.

Our detailed energy efficiency survey will confirm the appropriate boiler specification for the property type and size. If you wish to put a bigger boiler in then the additional charge will have to be paid for by yourself – we do not recommend this as it goes against the philosophy of the scheme in terms of energy efficiency. This is because the ECO3 scheme only covers the amount recommended by the survey, so please be aware of this when requesting changes like this.
