ECO4 Hub

What ECO4 Hub does

ECO4 Hub Ltd is a privately held UK company incorporated in 2023 and registered in England and Wales (company number 14609377), headquartered in Liverpool. The company operates an independent, consumer-facing eligibility checking service that mediates between UK households and the Ofgem-administered ECO4 energy efficiency obligation, under which energy suppliers fund home upgrades for eligible properties. ECO4 Hub is not an installer; it sits as a referral and lead-qualification layer, capturing demand through a postcode-based online eligibility survey at eco4hub.com/survey and routing qualified households to approved installers within the ECO4 ecosystem. Phone support (0800 260 5997) and an [email protected] contact channel supplement the digital funnel.

The service covers nine categories of energy-efficient measures: solar panels, air source heat pumps, internal wall insulation, cavity wall insulation, room-in-roof insulation, underfloor insulation, boiler upgrades, first-time central heating, and high heat retention storage heaters. The underlying technology is a standard web-based survey form with no proprietary platform, no API, no mobile app, and no disclosed integrations. The company is GDPR-compliant and processes personal data under standard lawful bases documented in its privacy policy. There is no disclosed AI, machine learning, or data flywheel component.

ECO4 Hub's business model is affiliate/referral-based: the service is free to consumers, and the company likely earns referral fees or installation commissions from energy suppliers and approved installers who fund the ECO4 measures. There are no disclosed pricing tiers, no enterprise contracts, no named customers, and no disclosed management team or investors. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website and phone channel, serving the single persona of UK homeowners and tenants potentially qualifying for government-funded home energy improvements.

The platform offers an online eligibility survey and facilitates access to nine types of energy-efficient measures: Solar Panels, Air Source Heat Pump, Internal Wall Insulation, Cavity Wall Insulation, Room in Roof Insulation, Underfloor Insulation, Boiler Upgrades, First Time Central Heating, and High Heat Retention Storage Heaters.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• EDF Energy: Major UK energy supplier participating in ECO4 with home energy efficiency services for households. Comparable in funding mechanism access and customer segment, though EDF delivers directly rather than acting as a third-party referral site.
• British Gas: Largest UK domestic energy supplier with extensive boiler, heating, and home insulation services delivered under ECO4 and other schemes. Comparable in target customer and product scope but operates at scale with employed engineers rather than as a referral intermediary.
• E.ON UK: UK energy supplier with a home solutions business covering insulation, heating upgrades, and solar. Comparable in product scope (boiler, insulation, heat pump) and ECO4 participation, but as a vertically integrated incumbent rather than a referral intermediary.
• ScottishPower: UK energy supplier providing home energy efficiency upgrades (insulation, heating, solar) and participating in ECO4 funding. Comparable in scheme participation and product offering, with vertical integration across energy supply and home services.
• SSE Energy Services: UK energy supplier and home services provider with boiler, heating, and insulation offerings under ECO and successor schemes. Comparable in customer segment and product range, operating at significantly larger scale than ECO4 Hub.
• Octopus Energy: Major UK energy supplier offering in-house heat pump, solar, and home energy services and operating directly within the ECO4 ecosystem. Broad incumbent with overlapping customer base and product set, but at vastly larger scale and with vertically integrated delivery.

Direct peers

• GreenMatch: UK green energy comparison and referral platform covering solar, heat pumps, insulation and grants. Closely comparable to ECO4 Hub in business model (online lead capture → installer referral) and product coverage (renewable/retrofit measures).
• Boiler Guide: UK consumer-facing boiler and heating comparison/referral site that connects homeowners with installers. Directly comparable to ECO4 Hub as a lead-generation and eligibility-matching intermediary in the UK home energy upgrade market.

Others

• Citizens Advice: UK consumer advice organisation providing guidance on energy efficiency grants, ECO funding eligibility, and consumer rights with energy suppliers. Comparable in information-provision role for ECO4-eligible households, but operates as a free public service rather than a commercial referral business.
• National Energy Action (NEA): UK fuel poverty charity that helps vulnerable households access energy efficiency grants including ECO4. Comparable target customer base and grant-eligibility domain, but as a non-commercial advisory body rather than a revenue-generating intermediary.
