    Frequently asked questions

    Surely there's a catch? How can this be totally free?!

    If you meet all of the qualifying criteria then we guarantee you that you will not have to pay anything towards the cost of any work carried out, including parts and labour. Funded is secured via the governments 'Energy Company Obligation' - a scheme designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel poverty and reduce climate change from carbon emissions. If for any reason you don't qualify for funding we will notify you before any installation is carried out. It is still likely you could qualify for a significant contribution to the work anwyay, meaning you would only need to pay a small amount for a significant improvement to your home.

    So, where exactly does all the money come from?

    Funding for energy improvements comes from Energy suppliers such as British Gas, NPower, EDF etc. The Government sets these utility companies targets to reduce carbon emissions. This is the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO); energy efficiency installers carry out the work and then invoice Utility companies for the grant amount to cover their costs for parts and labour.

    I tried something like this before and didn't get anywhere with it

    This is a new scheme (ECO4) introduced on the 1st April 2022; eligibility criteria has been changed in order to include more households to qualify for grants, so there is a very good chance you will now be eligible where you might not previously have been. With the possibility of a significant energy improvement to your property, at no cost to you, it's well worth applying again; our simple and easy questionaire takes less than a minute to complete.

    How long will it take to carry out the work?

    For an average sized property, most energy efficiency measures will be completed the same day. Common improvements such as Cavity Wall Insulation take around 2-3 hours, Loft Insulation can be completed in an hour or so. Room-in-Roof Insulation and Boiler Replacements are usually completed in a full days work. You will always be fully informed and advised how long any works will take prior to installation.

    I'm not confident using webforms, or completing lots of paperwork

    There's no need to worry, our online eligibility checker is very straightforward and can be completed in a matter of minutes. You can always phone us on 0191 501 8026 if you need any assistance or prefer to make an application over the phone. With your permission, a surveyor will complete a free no-obligation survey and then file the required paperwork, and then Eco HQ Limited will deal with the grant application on your behalf.

    How long will I need to wait from making an application to getting the energy improvements done?

    This varies depending on the area in which you live, and the time of year, but we would generally expect that the work would be completed anywhere between 2-4 weeks after your initial enquiry with Eco HQ Limited.

    What if I don't own my property, am I still eligible?

    The occupier of a property is entitled to an Eco funding grant, as they are responsible for paying fuel bills, and not the landlord. Privately renting tenants are eligible to grants, depending on their circumstances. We do require written permission from your landlord before carrying out any work, but Eco HQ Limited can make these arrangements for you.

    Which firms will complete the energy efficiency improvements? Can I trust them to do a good job?

    Eco HQ Limited has access to a network of fully accredited installers who will install your free energy improvements. All work is covered and guaranteed, from safety to compliance, and with full consideration to your needs as a homeowner.
