The ECO4 Scheme is a Government energy efficiency scheme which focuses on supporting low income and vulnerable households.
It is a Government scheme led by the private sector - not the council. Under the scheme, qualifying homeowners and private tenants may be entitled to energy efficiency improvements to their homes for free.
