ECO4 Universal Credit Eligibility – Apply for ECO4 If You’re on Universal Credit
If you’re claiming Universal Credit, you’re automatically entitled to FREE home improvements worth thousands of pounds through the government’s ECO4 scheme – but many people don’t know this incredible benefit exists! This isn’t a loan or something you need to pay back. It’s genuine government funding that covers the complete cost of making your home warmer, more comfortable, and dramatically cheaper to heat.
Are you on Universal Credit? You could be entitled to completely FREE home improvements! Call Ecogrants4u on 020 3878 3111 now to discover how much you can save – no fees, no catches, just free help.
FREE Home Improvements If You’re on Universal Credit
The Simple Truth: If you receive Universal Credit, the government wants to help make your home more energy efficient completely free of charge. This is called the ECO4 scheme, and it’s designed specifically for people like you who are struggling with energy bills whilst receiving government support.
What Is ECO4? (Explained Simply)
ECO4 in Plain English: ECO4 stands for “Energy Company Obligation 4” – but don’t worry about the fancy name. What matters is that it’s a government programme that forces big energy companies to pay for home improvements for people on benefits. Think of it as the energy companies giving something back to help customers who need it most.
Why Does This Exist?
The government knows that:
- Energy bills are crippling for people on limited incomes
- Poor insulation makes homes expensive to heat
- Old heating systems waste money and energy
- People on Universal Credit need the most help
- Energy companies should contribute to solving the problem
What “Free” Actually Means
Genuinely No Cost to You:
- No upfront payments required
- No monthly instalments to pay back
- No interest charges or hidden fees
- No impact on your benefits or Universal Credit
- No credit checks or financial assessments
- Complete installation covered including labour and materials
IT’S NOT A TRICK: This is legitimate government policy designed to help people on Universal Credit. You’re entitled to this support – don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
URGENT: Many people on Universal Credit don’t know about ECO4. Call Ecogrants4u on 020 3878 3111 to claim what you’re entitled to before funding runs out.

ANSWER: Yes, completely free. If anyone asks for money upfront, it’s a scam. Legitimate ECO4 is funded entirely by energy companies as required by government.
Concern 3: “Will Landlords Allow This?”
ANSWER: Most landlords welcome free improvements that increase property value and make tenants happier. Professional providers handle landlord liaison.
Concern 4: “What If I Move House?”
ANSWER: Improvements stay with the property, but you can apply again at a new address if you still receive Universal Credit.
Concern 5: “Is the Work Good Quality?”
ANSWER: All ECO4 work must meet strict government standards with certified installers and comprehensive warranties.
