Property Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
Your property’s Energy Performance Certificate determines ECO4 eligibility based on energy efficiency ratings. This official document evaluates your home’s current energy consumption and provides recommendations for improvements.
The certificate includes detailed information about insulation, heating systems, and potential energy savings, helping identify which measures would benefit your property most significantly.
Don’t Meet Standard Criteria? Try LA Flex
The Local Authority Flexibility (LA Flex) pathway extends ECO4 eligibility beyond standard benefit requirements, supporting low-income households experiencing fuel poverty who may not receive traditional government assistance.
This innovative approach allows local authorities to identify vulnerable households based on income thresholds and household circumstances, ensuring more families access energy efficiency improvements.
Households earning below specified income thresholds can qualify even without receiving traditional benefits. Local councils assess individual circumstances, including medical conditions, elderly residents, and families with young children to determine eligibility.
