ECHO offers assistance to repair or replace broken gas boilers.

The scheme aims to offer a fully-funded fast-tracked solution to those in a no-heat situation.

If you or someone you know could benefit, please contact us on advice@epplus.org, contact us or call freephone 0800 043 0151.

Eligibility:

Applicants must either:

• Be in receipt of qualifying income related benefits
• Or have a total annual household income less than £31,000

And:

• Be the home owner
• Heat their home using gas central heating
• Be in a “no heat” situation as a result of their boiler being broken

To apply for ECHO:

1. Call the Save Energy Advice Line on 0800 043 0151 to complete an eligibility check over the phone.  Partners can refer using the usual Energy Projects Plus referral form.
2. Eligible households will be referred to a local contractor who will complete a technical survey to determine if works can be completed. If the boiler can be repaired, they will do it there and then.
3. If a replacement is required, an appointment will be made for the new boiler to be installed.

If you, or someone you know, is eligible for this support call the Save Energy Advice Line on 0800 043 0151 or request a call.
