Energy bills have been rising rapidly across the UK, and many families are struggling to keep their homes warm. At the same time, the government is pushing towards a net-zero future by cutting carbon emissions. The GBIS Eco4 scheme was introduced to solve both challenges—helping households save money while improving energy efficiency.
At Eco4 Home Improvements, we specialise in helping families access these grants and transform their homes.
What is the GBIS Eco4 Scheme?
The GBIS Eco4 scheme is part of the UK Government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) program. Running until 2026, its aim is simple:
- Upgrade the UK’s least energy-efficient homes
- Reduce fuel poverty
- Lower harmful emissions
The scheme funds insulation, efficient heating systems, renewable energy solutions, and smart controls, so households can cut bills and live more comfortably.

Why Does Eco4 Matter?
The Eco4 program is not just about cutting costs—it’s also about:
- Supporting vulnerable families
- Improving Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) across the UK
- Helping the UK reach Net Zero 2050
- Reducing reliance on expensive fossil fuels
