A Homeowner’s Guide to Newcastle’s ECO4 Free Boiler Scheme

The ECO4 Free Boiler Scheme helps eligible homeowners in Newcastle upgrade to energy-efficient boilers at no cost. Funded by the government, this initiative targets low-income households or those receiving benefits like Pension Credit, Universal Credit, or ESA. Properties must also have poor energy performance (typically EPC rating E or below). After a quick eligibility check, approved applicants receive a free survey followed by professional installation.
