ECO4 and LA Flex

ECO4 is the main scheme for insulation and heating upgrades right now. It is paid for by energy suppliers and is due to close on 31 December 2026. If you do not receive benefits, you may still qualify through LA Flex, where your local council refers you. Read our full ECO4 guide for who qualifies, what it covers and how to apply.

Heat pumps and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives a set amount towards an air source or ground source heat pump in England and Wales. The amount is £7,500, and an extra £1,500 applies to homes heated by oil or LPG that have no mains gas connection. The extra amount runs until March 2027. Ask us how the scheme would apply to your home.

EV charger grants

Renters and flat owners can get up to £500 towards a home EV charger. Homeowners who can only park on the street may also qualify for up to £500. The rules are detailed, so we will check your situation before you commit.

What if I do not qualify for a grant?

Not everyone does, and that is fine. If no grant applies to your home, we will give you a clear quote for the work. Quotes are free and come with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

Which grant is right for my home?

It depends on your home and your household. The quickest way to find out is to press "Check if I qualify". We will look at your situation and tell you which schemes could apply.

Is ECO4 still open?

Yes. ECO4 runs until 31 December 2026. If you think you may qualify, it is worth asking sooner rather than later.

Can I get more than one grant?

Some schemes cannot be combined for the same work. For example, ECO4 funding cannot be combined with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for the same job. We will tell you what applies to your home.

Does Gap Project decide who qualifies?

No. Final eligibility is decided by the scheme administrator, the energy supplier or your local council. We check your details first, so you know where you stand before any work starts.
