Time Is Running Out – Don’t Miss the Free Heating & Insulation Grant (Expires March 2026!)

If you're a landlord or property owner in the North West, this could be the most important news you hear all year.

The clock is ticking on the government-backed Free Heating & Insulation Grant Scheme, known as the Energy Company Obligation Scheme (ECO) – and it expires in March 2026. That may seem a while away, but with demand growing and new regulations on the horizon, now is the time to act.

Why Act Now?

The Labour government has already proposed changes that will affect every landlord in the UK. By 2030, all rental properties must meet a minimum EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of C. But it gets more urgent: from 2028, its being proposed that any new tenancy must meet this C rating too. This is a major shift in energy standards—and one you need to be ready for.

That’s where we come in.

Who Are We?

We’re the Euro Energy Group, a local retrofit installation company based in Accrington, Lancashire. We operate across the North West helping landlords and homeowners make their properties more energy efficient—at zero cost to you or your tenants, thanks to the ECO scheme.

What Is the ECO Scheme?

The Energy Company Obligation Scheme (ECO) is a government-backed grant programme that provides £1,000s in FREE funding for eligible households. If your tenants are on a low income, receiving benefits, or suffering from a long-term health condition, they likely qualify.

How Does This Benefit You and Your Tenants?

Here’s what you get when you partner with Euro Energy Group:

✅ 100% FREE – no cost to the tenant or you the landlord
✅ Lower energy bills for your tenants
✅ Increase the value and energy efficiency of your property
✅ Solve common issues like cold, mould, damp, and condensation
✅ Boost your property’s EPC rating to a C—staying ahead of regulations

And best of all: we handle everything—from initial checks and surveys to installation and post installation EPC lodgement. All we need to start is an address.

What Measures Can We Install for Free?

Depending on your property’s construction and current heating source, we can install a wide range of energy-saving upgrades, including:

  • Internal Wall Insulation
  • Air Source Heat Pump
  • Solar Panels
  • First-Time Central Heating
  • High Heat Retention Storage Heaters
  • Loft Insulation
  • Smart Heating Controls
  • Ventilation Measures
  • Damp Proof Course

Who Qualifies?

Your property may be eligible for FREE upgrades if the tenant or any household member meets one of the following criteria:

Receives one of these benefits:

 

  • Universal Credit
  • Housing Benefit
  • Working Tax Credits
  • Child Tax Credits
  • Income Based Jobseekers Allowance
  • Income Support

OR

  • Someone in the household has a health condition made worse by the cold:
    • Cardiovascular issues
    • Respiratory diseases
    • Limited mobility
    • Immunosuppression

Don’t Miss the Deadline – March 2026

Grants like these don’t last forever—and when they’re gone, they’re gone. To avoid the financial burden of future compliance and costly retrofits, act now and make use of this rare opportunity to upgrade your property for free.
