What does the ECO4 grant cover?

The ECO4 grant has been designed to help property owners improve the insulation of their homes and install new renewable heating systems & Solar PV in the property.

Any home with an efficiency rating of ‘D’ or below will have to install loft, roof and exterior-facing cavity insulation before improving any existing heating technology installed in the home.

Why you should apply to the ECO4 scheme?

Experts have suggested that the recent energy crisis could push 8.5 million households into fuel poverty, meaning they’ll struggle to heat or power their homes.

By extending the ECO scheme for another four years, the UK Government could help some of these vulnerable people get through the difficult times ahead.

For more information about the ECO4 Retrofit Scheme and to find out if you qualify for government-funded support, fill out our contact form and our dedicated ECO4 team will be in touch.

  • McInnis Group, installed our Airsource and PH Panels with battery backup. It was a big undertaking! The team, led by James and Niall did a fantastic job, so hard working and so respectful of our home, and very helpful with explanations. We cannot praise them and the office backup enough. The heating is running perfectly!

  • The Team from McInnes Group did a boiler and central heating system install recently for me. I can safely say it was a superb job from pre install to finish. The lads were very professional and considerate of my home but also quick and efficient. The whole job was complete in a day with just a tidy up the following morning. I was kept informed during the day of progress as I vacated the house as advised, for my own safety obviously, with floors up etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending McInnes Group.

  • McInnes group fitted an air source heat pump, radiators and solar panels to my house. From the very beginning I felt everything was so well organised. All the different people involved kept me informed and everything happened exactly on schedule. The men did a great job. They were efficient and worked really hard to get things done. They worked late on two nights. They all appeared very knowledgeable and professional, the work was very neat and the house was left as tidy as possible after such an upheaval. We had been struggling to get rid of mould whilst paying a fortune for storage heaters which didn't heat the house. This new system has meant my house is warm and my kids won't have mould in their rooms. I am so grateful. I would definitely recommend this company.

  • Team arrived early and started straight away Decided that my wife and I would move out for 3 nights Received a call stating that all work was nearly completed this was on the 3rd day, came back to house and was given a quick run down of the new control panel. We were most impressed with the tidiness, there was no mess at all and where the work was carried was really clean I have no hesitation in strongly recommending the Mcinnes Group.

  • Fantastic company to deal with, they are always on the ball, giving updates about what is going to happen and when. Never let us down. The team that came to to the job were absolutely fantastic, everyone did there own job, they did a beautiful job tidying up as they went. I would highly recommend them.

  • Bought a house with a lab air source heat pump installed by this firm when owned by previous owners Had some concerns about the energy usage and set up of the system, spoke to the company. They arranged for an engineer to visit, check the system, check the efficiency, and give advice on set up, all of which was very helpful and useful. Office staff and the engineer could not have been more friendly, helpful and professional

    thumb Andrew Macdonald
  • They fitted a new c/h system for an old lady neighbour of ours Mrs Marion Kemp in Lossiemouth. She is very pleased with it all. Excellent team did the work for her and Yoyo the cat says thank you too. Thank you.
