Transform your home heating experience with the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme, carried out by our qualified gas engineers on the Wirral. The Energy Company Obligation scheme is a helpful programme offering grants for new boilers. It’s designed by the government to help people who have old or poor heating systems in their homes.

This is a great chance for low-income households or old heating systems to save money on energy bills. They can do this by getting a better, more efficient heating system through this scheme.

The ECO scheme is widely accessible and available to residents across the Wirral, ensuring that those who need it can benefit from improved home heating and energy efficiency.

To be eligible for the ECO Scheme, you must own a property in Wirral. The scheme targets homes with boilers that are inefficient or malfunctioning. Financially, eligibility extends to those receiving one or more qualifying benefits, such as income support or pension credits. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, get in touch today for a comprehensive assessment.

The grant scheme includes a range of energy-efficient boilers to suit different home types and heating requirements. This includes combi boilers, which are ideal for smaller homes with limited space, and system boilers, which are suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms.

The upgrade can also include high-efficiency condensing boilers equipped with timers, room thermostats, and thermostatic radiator valves.

All boilers available through the scheme are A-rated for energy efficiency. Post-installation service ensures hydraulic balancing for optimal heating performance, leading to lower energy bills and a significant boost in heating efficiency.
