Waltham Forest Council is working with EDF and the chosen installer Golden Globe Merchants Ltd, to ensure that homes in the borough are upgraded to high energy standards. ECO4 funding is targeted to homes that currently have low or poor energy efficiency and are at band E or below on the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The ECO4 Scheme aims to provide funded energy-saving measures for vulnerable households.
You do not need to be an EDF customer to apply.
We are working with the Great British Insulation Scheme.
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) has been designed to work alongside the current ECO scheme, which is known as ECO4. The aim of the scheme is to help install energy efficient measures that can reduce your energy consumption and save you money on your energy bills. The scheme was launched in the Summer of 2023 and will run until March 2026.
Making our homes more energy efficient is the best way of cutting household energy use and reducing heating bills
GBIS is designed to fund the installation of single insulation measures, with cavity wall insulation being the most effective and efficient measure to be installed
