CSE is a charity (#298740) whose goal is to reduce fuel poverty and the impacts of climate change.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain to tackle fuel poverty and help reduce carbon emissions. Through the ECO you can get help with the cost of insulation work, for example to your loft or cavity walls, or for replacing or repairing your boiler – or other upgrades to your heating.

The specific measures that your home would get under the ECO will be determined by a retrofit assessment.

To go ahead, you must own your own home or have permission from your landlord (including a social housing provider or management company). 

Read more about the ECO on the government website.
