Pension Credit recipients qualify for free energy upgrades

As energy costs continue to rise, many pensioners face the challenge of maintaining comfortable homes without straining their finances. If you receive Pension Credit, you may be eligible for the ECO4 scheme, which offers free home energy upgrades to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce bills. 

Why Pensioners on Pension Credit Need Home Energy Upgrade 

Pensioners often live on fixed incomes, making it challenging to manage rising energy bills. Homes that are not energy-efficient can lead to higher heating costs and uncomfortable living conditions. The ECO4 scheme addresses these issues by offering free upgrades, ensuring that pensioners can enjoy warmer homes without the added financial burden.
