Why Choose ECO4 but Not BUS for ASHP Grants?
Free Solar Panels
ECO4 offers free solar panels with ASHP grants because there is no limit for the grants. On the other hand, BUS has a grant limit per household and cannot exceed that limit. Thus, BUS does not provide free solar panels with the heat pumps.
Covers Low-Income Households
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is designed to assist low-income families, hence increasing its accessibility for those receiving specific benefits. For low-income households, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) could not provide the same degree of financial assistance.
Broader Scope
ECO4 covers a range of energy-saving measures, including insulation and heating upgrades, whereas BUS is primarily for heat pump installations. ECO4 may provide a more comprehensive home energy solution.
100% Funding Possible
ECO4 can cover the full cost of installations for qualifying households, while BUS offers a limited grant of up to £7,500. This may require you to cover some of the costs by yourself.
Long-Term Focus
ECO4 supports deeper home energy efficiency improvements, targeting homes with poor energy ratings. BUS is more focused on switching heating systems but may not address other energy inefficiencies in your home.
No Upfront Costs
ECO4 generally doesn’t require any upfront payments, unlike BUS, where you may need to pay part of the installation costs before receiving the grant.
