  • What is the ECO4 scheme?
    The ECO (Energy Company Obligation) scheme is a government initiative that provides funding towards the cost of energy saving measures such as insulation, as well as First Time Central Heating (FTCH) – properties that have no central heating system present, in other terms, having no radiators - heating system upgrades and heating controls. It is available for both domestic and commercial properties.
  • How can I keep my rooms warmer for longer?
    Insulation! Whether fitted between a cavity wall – a two-layered wall with a small gap in the middle – or standard internal and external walls, insulation is a quick and easy way to retain heat. By adding an extra barrier between your internal space and the outside world, you can lock in the warmth for longer, reducing the frequency and time you may need to run your heating.
  • How do I know If I am eligible for financial help?
    Most grants are available for properties with low energy efficiency ratings (judged by the EPC – Energy Performance Certificate) and those that run using less eco-friendly methods, such as solid fuel fires and gas boilers. Whilst Smart Energie Ltd will help you with the entire application, you can check your eligibility on the government website.
  • Do you offer any offers and discounts?
    We offer a number of offers and discounts, including the ECO4 scheme, which can entitle you to a boiler upgrade or other energy saving measures, and BUS (Boiler Upgrade Scheme), which supports the switch to renewable energy heating systems, such as air source pumps. We also offer competitive rates and discounts for multiple installations.
