ECO4 Innovation 45% Uplift
ECO4 Heat Pump Installers can access a 45% innovation measure uplift on installations of Grant Aerona air source heat pumps with an Aerona Smart Heat Pump System Controller.
Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) Funding
ECO4 is a Government scheme which is available in Great Britain, providing funding to eligible households to help them install energy efficiency measures into their homes, such as low carbon heat pumps. The funding is distributed through energy companies who decide which projects they fund, the amount of funding they provide and the installers they want to work with. The ECO4 Scheme is available until 31st March 2026.
Who is eligible for ECO4 funding?
The ECO4 Scheme – which aims to reduce fuel poverty and lower carbon emissions – is focused on improving the heating systems of the least efficient homes and households in fuel poverty. Households must meet the ECO4 eligibility criteria which are assessed using three separate pathways:
- Be in receipt of one or more eligible benefits and therefore be a member of the Help to Heat Group
- Live in social housing with a poor energy efficiency (EPC rating of D, E, F or G)
- Fulfil eligibility under ECO4 Flex (for local authorities primarily)
To read the full set of eligibility criteria and requirements for ECO4, please visit the OFGEM website.
ECO4 Innovation Measure Uplifts
Within the ECO4 Scheme, uplifts on specified products are available which release additional funding to ECO4 installers who install them. Such products have been awarded an uplift (which can vary from 25% up to 45%) following an assessment by OFGEM to ensure that the technology delivers significant added benefit to the household. The awarding of the 45% Innovation Uplift is rare because it is only awarded to products which are a classified as a Substantial Innovation Measure, significantly improving the overall energy efficiency of a home.
What is the 45% Innovation Uplift with Grant heat pumps?
Grant UK’s ECO4 Innovation 45% Uplift is available on both the Aerona³ and Aerona 290 heat pump models when installed alongside the Aerona Smart Controller.
When a Grant air source heat pump is installed as an ECO4 Substantial Innovation Measure, Grant UK will provide the following:
- Heat pump set-up assistance on your first installation with a Grant UK in-house Technical Sales Support Engineer
- Remote monitoring checks 3 months after the heat pump is installed, and again after 12 months, to ensure the system is set up and operating correctly to achieve the highest efficiencies
- Technical support online, over the phone and through remote monitoring
- 12-year heat pump guarantee including parts and labour, free of charge to the end-user
- 12 years’ worth of annual heat pump servicing, which equates to 11 visits free of charge to the end-user which will be carried out by a Grant UK Field Service Engineer.
To access the 45% uplift funding available on Grant heat pumps, the ECO4 installer will need to purchase a heat pump servicing package from Grant UK as part of their ECO4 funding application. Terms and Conditions apply.
