Our dedicated team here at Direct Savings will take care of everything else for you: from checking your eligibility to enrolling you in the scheme, to ensuring all your energy-efficient home improvements are carried out by qualified tradespeople and installers.
 

How is the government-backed ECO4 scheme achieving this, and do I qualify?
 

The scheme is helping low-income households and vulnerable individuals living in fuel-poor homes (bands F and G) to become more energy efficient. This can be done in a number of ways, for instance: installing roof insulation, repairing and improving central heating systems, installing electric storage heaters and fitting cavity wall insulation (all FREE of charge).

​

The benefit for you is the money you’ll save: month in, month out. Not to mention less pay-day stress and a huge boost to the warmth and comfort levels of your home.

​

Okay, so what’s the catch?

​

No catch. You just have to meet the government’s criteria as regards the type of benefits you receive. Are you a homeowner or private tenant? Are you in receipt of the qualifying benefits outlined below? There’s a good chance you’ll meet the criteria.

​
