Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

We like to provide as much information as possibe to help you with your requests. Below is a list of our Frequently Asked Questions, but if there’s something else you need to know, please just get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Is this scheme completely free?

The Free Heating Scheme is part of the ECO4 Scheme. The ECO4 scheme was launched in April 2022 funded by the UK Government and energy companies as part of the obligation to reach net zero by the Government deadline. As part of the scheme, over 3.5 million properties across the UK qualify for FREE upgrades to make their property more energy efficient including Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar Panels and Insulation. This is fully funded as part of the ECO4 scheme and you do not have to pay a single penny.

Who is eligible for the scheme?

There are over 3.5 million homes across the UK eligible for the scheme. We have a simple eligibility checker which tells you in just 30 seconds whether you are eligible for the scheme. We do not require any personal information to tell you whether you are eligible.

Will I still own my roof if I get solar panels?

You will own all of the energy saving measures outright from day 1. No rental agreements, no contracts, nothing. You will still own your home and will not have any problems selling your property. In fact, we have found that these energy prices can actually increase the value of your home.

Do Air Source Heat Pumps work in the winter?

The latest Air Source Heat Pumps are incredibly powerful and efficient. They absorb heat from the outer air and use the warm air to heat your new heating system. Air Source Heat Pumps now have high seasonal coefficent of performance which means they are incredibly efficient in all weathers and temperatures.

Do Solar Panels still work in the UK?

We use Solar PV panels which rely on daylight, not sunlight to generate power. Whilst there is less sunlight during the winter, Solar PV panels still generate vast amounts of clean energy to use in your home.
