Heating a cold home can quickly become expensive, especially when energy costs are constantly rising. If you’ve noticed some rooms in your home are colder than others, or you’re struggling to keep the warmth inside, it may be time for an insulation upgrade. The good news? You could qualify for financial assistance through the Local Authority Flex Scheme (LA Flex), even if you’re not receiving any benefits.
With LA Flex, you can access improvements like insulation, upgraded heating systems, and renewable energy solutions to help keep your home comfortable and cut down on energy bills. Check below to see if you’re eligible!
The Local Authority Flexible Eligibility, or LA Flex, is a government initiative aimed at helping homeowners and tenants who might not qualify for traditional benefits. As part of the broader Energy Company Obligation (ECO) programme, LA Flex provides options for free or discounted energy-saving upgrades to improve your home’s efficiency, reduce energy costs, and decrease carbon emissions.
This programme is designed to assist individuals and families who are either living on a low income, experiencing health issues due to cold conditions, or facing higher energy costs due to inadequate insulation.
Through the ECO4 scheme and LA Flex, you may qualify for various home improvements designed to make your space more energy-efficient and reduce long-term heating expenses. Options include:
Modern heaters that use off-peak electricity and release warmth throughout the day.
An upgrade to more energy-efficient boilers for homes with older, non-condensing models.
Exterior or interior insulation to reduce heat loss and improve comfort.
Insulating your loft to prevent heat from escaping.
Fills the gap between exterior and interior walls to maintain warmth.
Funding is available if your home lacks central heating but has an existing gas meter.
Utilizes external heat for hot water and
central heating.
Converts sunlight into electricity, lowering energy costs.
Ideal for homes with converted loft spaces.
