New Year, Final Chance: Why 2026 Marks the Beginning of the End for ECO4 Grants

As we step into a new year, many UK households are thinking about fresh starts, new goals, and better financial planning. But for homeowners and tenants struggling with high energy bills, the New Year also brings an important warning: the ECO4 scheme is entering its final phase.

With the ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation Phase 4) scheme due to end in March 2026, this New Year represents one of the last opportunities to secure government-backed funding for essential home energy upgrades.

At Prima Energy Solutions Ltd, we’re helping households take action before it’s too late.


What Is ECO4 and Why Does It Matter?

ECO4 is a UK Government-backed scheme designed to help low-income and vulnerable households improve the energy efficiency of their homes. It focuses on:

  • Reducing fuel poverty

  • Lowering long-term energy bills

  • Improving home comfort and health

  • Cutting carbon emissions

Under ECO4, eligible households may receive fully or heavily funded upgrades, including:

  • Energy-efficient boiler replacements

  • Loft, wall, and room-in-roof insulation

  • Heating controls and smart thermostats

For many households, ECO4 has been the difference between struggling through winter and living in a warm, affordable home.


Why the New Year Is a Turning Point for ECO4

While ECO4 officially runs until March 2026, the reality is that funding is limited and allocated in stages. As we enter the New Year:

  • Remaining funding pots are shrinking

  • Demand is increasing rapidly

  • Eligibility checks are becoming more competitive

  • Installers’ capacity is filling up

This means waiting until “later in the year” could result in hearing the words no one wants to hear:

“Sorry, ECO4 funding has run out.”


What Happens If You Don’t Apply in Time?

Delaying your ECO4 application could lead to serious long-term consequences:

1. Higher Energy Bills

Without insulation or an efficient boiler, your home continues to lose heat, forcing your heating system to work harder and cost more.

2. Old and Inefficient Heating Systems

Many UK homes are still running boilers that are 15–20 years old, inefficient, unreliable, and expensive to maintain.

3. Cold, Damp, and Uncomfortable Living Conditions

Poor insulation often leads to cold rooms, condensation, mould, and damp—issues that affect both comfort and health.

4. Loss of ECO4 Funding Forever

Once ECO4 ends, there is no guarantee that a similar scheme will replace it with the same level of support.
