What’s included?
Under the ECO4 programme, the following can be fully funded:
An air source heat pump for heating and hot water.
Solar PV panels (MCS-approved) to generate your own electricity.
Insulation upgrades (loft, wall, floor) to maximise energy efficiency and boost SAP/EPC scores.
These upgrades often result in hundreds of pounds saved annually on energy bills.
Types of Air Pumps And Solar
With ECo4 Options typically include:
Air Source Heat Pumps
-
Monobloc systems: A single outdoor unit that supplies hot water directly into your home’s heating system. These are compact, straightforward to install, and ideal for properties with limited indoor space.
-
Split systems: Consist of an outdoor unit connected to an indoor unit. They provide greater efficiency and are often suited to larger properties or homes with higher heating demands.
-
Hybrid systems: Combine a heat pump with a traditional boiler, allowing flexible use of renewable energy while ensuring consistent heating & hot water.
Solar Panels
Solar PV panels: Generate electricity from sunlight to power your home and reduce reliance on the grid.
In-roof solar panels: Integrated into the roof design for a more streamlined appearance, while still offering the same efficiency as on-roof systems.
On-roof solar panels: The most common option, fixed on top of existing roof tiles and widely suitable for most homes.
Solar plus battery storage: Store excess electricity for later use, maximising the benefits of your solar system and reducing grid dependence.
We’ll help you choose the right one for your home and heating needs.
