ECO4 Scheme Wales Check What's Live

Check what your Welsh home qualifies for

Welsh households deal with two governments' worth of schemes: Nest from Cardiff Bay, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and VAT relief from Westminster, plus council programmes that vary by county. This check sorts them for your situation — by email, in plain language, usually within one working day.

Tell us about your home and we will email back which Welsh schemes — Nest, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, council programmes — realistically apply. No cold calls, no obligation.

What are you interested in? (tick any)

Submitting means you accept our privacy policy. Your details go to us and, only if you want a survey, to a single vetted installer covering your county. Never to call centres.

Why we ask what we ask

County. Council-level schemes and installer coverage genuinely differ between, say, Gwynedd and Newport. Off-gas prevalence varies hugely by county too, which changes the default recommendation.

Tenure. Nest serves owner-occupiers and private tenants (with landlord consent for measures). Social tenants are usually better served pressing their landlord, whose stock must meet the Welsh Housing Quality Standard. Landlords have the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and VAT routes but not Nest.

Heating fuel. Oil and LPG households are the priority case for almost everything live in 2026 — the logic is laid out in our off-gas guide.

Benefits. Means-tested benefits open Nest's most straightforward eligibility door. But Nest also has low-income and health-condition routes, so "No" here does not end the conversation — it changes which questions we ask back.

What you get back

One email. It names the schemes worth your time — Nest, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, anything live at your council — links the official application route for each, and flags what to ignore. If you asked about a survey or quotes, we introduce a single vetted, MCS-certified installer covering your county. We do not operate a lead auction, and we never ask for your phone number.

If nothing free fits, we say so plainly and show the discounted self-funded path instead: 0% VAT, export payments, and the heat pump grant if heating is in scope.

Both governments covered. Devolved and UK-wide schemes in one answer.
Email only. No number collected, none can be sold. Welsh-language replies available on request.
Verifiable. Every scheme we cite links to gov.wales or gov.uk.
