EPC Grants for Landlords
In this section
Landlord Grants
At EGi Energy, we specialise in helping landlords unlock the benefits of the government-backed ECO4 grant scheme. The grant provides fully funded energy-efficiency improvements designed to raise EPC ratings, reduce tenant’s energy bills, and future-proof rental properties, all at no cost to the landlord or their tenants.
ECO4 Grant Scheme
The ECO4 scheme is the UK government’s flagship initiative to reduce fuel poverty and cut carbon emissions. It funds a wide range of property upgrades, including insulation, heating systems, and renewable technologies such as solar panels and air-source heat pumps.
For landlords, this means an opportunity to:
Improve their property’s EPC ratings and meet compliance requirements.
Add long-term value to their housing stock.
Lower running costs for tenants, reducing arrears linked to their energy bills.
Access upgrades with no capital outlay.
All installations are carried out by TrustMark-registered companies and come with full warranty coverage and guarantees.
Property Assessment
Check to see if your property qualifies for a ECO4 Grant, just enter your property postcode and select your address from the list for a quick assessment.

Our service doesn’t stop once the work is complete. We provide ongoing support to ensure improvements meet expectations, funding compliance is maintained and future opportunities for upgrades are identified.
Our Process
Desktop Assessment
We begin with a desktop assessment of your property to check eligibility for ECO4 funding and identify potential improvements before a site visit.
Pre Property Assessment
A pre-property assessment is carried out to gather key information on the building, its current energy performance, and suitability for upgrades.
Tenant Application
Tenants complete a simple application to confirm eligibility for ECO4 funding. Our team supports them through the process to make it quick and stress-free.
Retrofit Assessment
A qualified assessor visits the property to carry out a full retrofit assessment, identifying the most effective measures to boost energy efficiency and EPC ratings.
Energy Efficiency Design
Based on the retrofit assessment, we design a tailored package of improvements that meet ECO4 requirements and deliver maximum benefits for the property.
Schedule of Works
A clear schedule of works is created, detailing the measures to be installed, timelines, and access arrangements to minimise disruption for tenants.
Work Completed
Our accredited installers complete the agreed upgrades to the highest standards, ensuring full compliance with ECO4 and industry regulations.
Post Property Assessment
A follow-up inspection is carried out to confirm all improvements have been installed correctly and the property meets the targeted energy performance standards. A new EPC will also be arranged to demonstrate the upgraded rating.
Handover Documents Provided
Once the project is complete, we provide full handover documents, including warranties, certificates, and compliance paperwork for your records.
