PTS Energy Solutions – Saving Energy, Saving Money
PTS Energy Solutions are working to helping you reduce your energy bills.
Through the government backed ECO4 scheme we are able to offer free insulation, heating upgrades, Air Source Heat Pumps and solar panels.
We take a whole house approach to retrofitting your home to the latest standards beginning with ensuring your home is insulated to the highest standards possible.
What is the ECO4 scheme?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme is a government scheme which takes a whole house, insulation first approach to reduce fuel poverty across England, Wales and Scotland. After insulation has been completed, any further savings that can be made by upgrading heating can also be completed through the scheme.
The scheme is funded by the largest utility companies in the UK and we work with them to provide access to this free funding, helping to reduce your fuel bills, making your home warmer and reducing condensation, damp and mould which is associated with poorly insulated and heated homes.
Not every household can apply and there are certain criteria which have to be met in order to qualify for the scheme. The ECO grants are not repayable and for most installs will cover the whole cost of the installation.

Do I qualify for an ECO4 grant?
To qualify for an ECO4 grant which could provide you with free insulation, heating, air source heat pumps or solar, you (or your tenant if you are a landlord), must be in receipt of one of the benefits listed below:
I’m not receiving one of these benefits, can I be helped?
Up to 50% of energy efficiency measures installed in England, Wales and Scotland can be completed through the ECO4 Flex scheme and is for households whose combined gross income is below £31,000 per year or if you have certain health conditions which would make you vulnerable to the cold.
The ECO4 Flex scheme is administered by Local Authorities who are responsible for rolling it out in your area and they will verify your income or health eligibility. It is rolling out slowly and is expected to be fully live by April 2023.
We will check as part of your application if your area is now open for applications.
Are there any other criteria?
As well as being in receipt of a qualifying benefit or qualify through the Flex route (more on that below), your home must also be in one of the lower energy efficiency bands as follows:
- Owner Occupier: Your home must be in an EPC Band D, E, F or G
- Rented Property: Your home must be in an EPC Band E, F, or G
- Social Housing: Your home must be in an EPC Band E, F or G although there are some measures available if you are in a Band D property
I don’t know my EPC band
Don’t worry, if you don’t know your EPC band we can check it for you very quickly or you can visit the GOV.UK website which keeps a central register by clicking here.
If your home doesn’t have an EPC one will be completed as part of the application process for free.
