Simple eco4 eligibility

A household is usually eligible for the ECO4 scheme if:

  1. The property has a low EPC rating (D, E, F, or G)
  2. AND one of the following applies:
    • Someone in the household receives a qualifying benefit (e.g., Universal Credit, ESA, JSA, Child Benefit, Pension Credit, etc.)
    • The total household income is £31,000 or below (qualifies under Local Authority Flex)
    • Someone in the home has a medical condition made worse by living in a cold property (e.g., respiratory or cardiovascular issues)

In the simplest possible terms: Low EPC + Low income or benefits or health vulnerability = ECO4 eligibility.
