The Government Free UK Boiler Grants Scheme, also known as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, is a program designed to help eligible households in the UK access free or heavily subsidized boilers. The scheme aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and alleviate fuel poverty by providing funding

to replace inefficient boilers with newer, more energy-efficient models. Eligibility for the scheme is typically based on factors such as income level, property type, and the existing boiler’s efficiency. Households receiving certain benefits, such as Pension Credit or Child Benefit, are often eligible for the scheme.
