How to Secure Grant Funding for Energy-Efficient Property Upgrades?
The UK Government, in line with its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and addressing fuel poverty, provides a range of schemes and grants to assist landlords in the private rental sector. If your property requires energy-efficient improvements and you want to help your tenants lower their energy costs, this is the perfect opportunity to get started.
What Are the Eligibility Criteria?
If you’re a private landlord looking to apply for the ECO4 scheme, it’s important to note that eligibility is based on your tenant’s circumstances rather than your own.
Your property must also have an EPC rating of E, F, or G. If you’re unsure of your current rating, a Retrofit Coordinator can assess it with your tenant’s permission.
At Yorkshire Energy Solutions Ltd, we’re here to support you at every step of the process. Our knowledgeable advisors and skilled installers will provide clear guidance and deliver high-quality results that comply with government requirements.
As part of the assessment, the assessor will also need to confirm that the recommended energy-saving improvements for your property fall into one or more of the following categories:
Smarter Solutions for Landlords – Boost Energy Efficiency & Property Value
As a landlord, improving the energy efficiency of your properties isn’t just good for the environment — it also helps lower tenant energy bills and increases the value and appeal of your portfolio. The right upgrades depend on your property’s age, layout, insulation, and existing systems.
At Yorkshire Energy Solutions Ltd, we work with landlords and property managers to identify the most effective energy-saving measures, from insulation to modern heating systems. Our installations meet UK regulations, helping you achieve compliance, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance tenant satisfaction — all while supporting long-term savings.
Solid Wall Insulation
Heat escapes not only through the roof but also through the walls of a home. Adding insulation to external or internal walls can help reduce energy loss and lower heating costs by as much as £425 annually.
First-Time Central Heating
Grants are available to help households install gas central heating for the first time. These systems include smart heating controls and thermostatic radiator valves to improve comfort and efficiency.
Renewable Heating
Households now have access to a wider range of sustainable heating solutions, such as Solar PV panels, biomass boilers, and air source heat pumps — all aimed at cutting carbon emissions and creating a more eco-friendly home.
Under the ECO4 scheme, funding is only available for a new boiler, central heating system, or electric storage heaters if the property has never previously had a central heating system installed.
For landlords, encouraging tenants to arrange an assessment is a wise step — not only does it enhance your property’s energy efficiency and long-term value, but it also contributes to a more sustainable future.
