LOCAL AUTHORITY FLEXIBLE ELIGIBILITY
The flexible scheme addressing local needs and circumstances
ECO4 eligibility criteria can be strict, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. The ECO4 Flex Scheme, or LA Flex, allows local authorities to broaden eligibility with more inclusive criteria. This opens the door for more people such as homeowners, private tenants, and even those who don’t meet the standard ECO4 requirements. LA Flex considers factors like income, health conditions, and age to prioritise those who need energy-saving upgrades the most.
That’s where NEIS steps in. We believe strict criteria shouldn’t stand in the way of making your home energy efficient. Our experts will assess your eligibility for both ECO4 and LA Flex, managing the entire application process for you. Just fill out our short form to register your interest, and we’ll let you know if you qualify.

Just because you don’t qualify for ECO4, doesn’t mean you’re not eligible for home improvements under LA Flex.

QUALIFY BASED ON YOUR NEEDS
What are the differences between LA Flex and ECO4?
LA Flex isn’t a one-size-fits-all programme, which means more households may be eligible for free home improvements. However, it also means that each council has their own criteria depending on fuel poverty issues and funding in their local area. Here’s what’s different about LA Flex:
-
Income level: While income is still a factor, LA Flex takes into account your income level in relation to your vulnerability to the cold. So, even if you don’t receive the government benefits required by the ECO4 scheme, you could still qualify
-
Health conditions: Individuals with certain health conditions that are exacerbated by living in cold or damp housing, such as respiratory illnesses or disabilities, could qualify
-
Vulnerabilities: LA Flex also considers those classified as vulnerable due to their age, such as older individuals or young children
“Really nice guys, good manners and polite and respectful. Really good at their jobs, two of the workers Mathew and Kane downed tools and helped me with my neighbour who collapsed and also phoned the ambulance, and also kept in touch to see how he was doing, as said before, very polite and professional.”
