ECO4
Energy Company Obligation Scheme
The ECO4 scheme ended in April 2026
The ECO4 scheme has now ended, at Menai we now primarily operate within the private renewbale sector.
What is the ECO4 scheme?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in the UK that requires larger energy suppliers to provide funding for energy-efficiency measures in the domestic housing sector (owner-occupied and private rentals).
The scheme aims to reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty by improving the energy efficiency of homes and reducing energy bills. It is estimated that this scheme will spend approximately £1,000,000,000 per annum until the scheme comes to an end in March 2026.

What is installed with ECO?
The Whole House Approach refers to the strategy that must be followed under ECO4 for improving energy efficiency, sustainability, and overall environmental performance of a residential building, not just one element. Instead of focusing on offering single measures to a dwelling, the whole house approach considers the entire home and looks at every possible measure we can install in the home instead of just a singular measure.
Solar Panels
Through the ECO4 scheme, we offer fully-funded solar panel installations to eligible homeowners, allowing you to harness renewable energy without any upfront costs. These high-efficiency solar panels reduce your electricity bills while helping you reduce your carbon footprint. With the ECO4 scheme, you can make the switch to solar power and enjoy the benefits of clean, sustainable energy at no initial expense.
Air Source Heat Pumps
An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a renewable heating system that works like a boiler but without burning fuel. Instead, it takes heat from the outside air, even in cold weather, and uses it to warm your home and hot water. It works similarly to a fridge but in reverse, moving heat into your home rather than out of it.
Insulation Measures
We provide high-quality insulation solutions to help improve your home’s energy efficiency. Our services include cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, and underfloor insulation, all designed to reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and enhance your home’s comfort year-round. Let us help you make your home more eco-friendly and cost-effective.
