Funding & scheme context

Schemes can change. We help you understand the picture.

First time central heating has historically been supported under ECO4 in qualifying circumstances. Scheme rules and eligibility change over time, and the Warm Homes Plan may also influence future support. We'll help you understand the current picture.

Eligibility and availability depend on current scheme rules, property circumstances and household details. Emerald Green Energy does not guarantee funding.
