The ECO scheme has been running since 2013 helping the most vulnerable section of our society to replace their old boilers with modern, energy efficient boilers.
We are proud to have been involved in this scheme since 2013 and under the current scheme we have funding for the replacement of Gas Boilers, Loft insulation and Cavity wall insulation.
In order to qualify you need to be in receipt of certain benefits.
If you or a member of your household is on a qualifying benefit, and you are a homeowner, you may qualify for a free boiler replacement through the government Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
To find out whether you qualify, complete the form below or contact us on 01617468000. Or simply use our online questionnaire to see if you qualify – Free boiler questionnaire
The insulation can dramatically improve your home’s heat retention and create a warmer, more efficient home. Up to 45% of a property’s heat can escape through cavity walls, so a significant amount of your money is going to waste. The average property will save £150 a year with cavity wall insulation, although obviously this can be variable depending on a number of factors.
Cavity walls are two walls with a gap in between, called the cavity. The outer wall is often made of brick while the inner wall brick or concrete. Houses built after the 1920s tend to have cavity walls, making them good candidates for cavity wall insulation.
Cavity wall insulation works by filling the cavity space with material that reduces heat loss by stopping the air moving around inside the cavity (air is still the actual insulator). This can substantially reduce heating costs.
There are several different insulating materials that can be used, but at DK Hughes we favour super-bead polystyrene beads – they’re waterproof, fast to install, and come with a 25-year guarantee.
