Like other 36.3% of households in the UK, if you’re also struggling with high energy costs or living in a cold home, your council may refer you for funded energy-saving measures. The LA Flex Scheme broadens eligibility for Energy Efficiency Schemes, allowing local authorities to identify households that don’t meet standard criteria
Lower Energy Bills
Reduce heating costs through improved insulation and efficient heating systems.
LA Flex has 4 total routes to qualify for energy efficiency schemes. We serve 2 main routes; contact your local council if these don’t qualify you.
The LA Flex scheme can provide a free condensing boiler replacement. Modern condensing boilers are significantly more energy efficient than older models, helping eligible households reduce heat loss and lower their heating bills.
This powerful combination provides sustainable heating while generating electricity to offset your energy costs. Heat pumps are extremely energy efficient, extracting warmth from outside air to heat your home, while solar panels reduce your reliance on energy suppliers.
The LA Flex scheme provides a fully funded central heating installation. This comprehensive solution includes radiators throughout your property, pipework, and a modern condensing boiler.
This is particularly suitable for flats, rural properties, or homes where traditional heating systems aren't practical. Approved installers will assess your property's electrical capacity and roof suitability to tailor energy efficiency schemes to your specific needs.
Your local authority can refer you for free insulation if your property is poorly insulated and you're vulnerable or living in fuel poverty. Many older homes in England, Scotland, and Wales lack adequate insulation, leading to excessive energy consumption and cold living conditions.

Unlike standard benefit-based schemes, LA Flex allows your local authority to use its local knowledge to refer residents who would benefit from energy efficiency measures. Your council issues a Statement of Intent confirming your eligibility, which then allows energy companies to fund improvements like insulation, heating systems, and renewable energy solutions for your home.
The LA Flex Scheme includes free insulation (cavity wall, loft, and solid wall), modern condensing boiler replacements, complete central heating system installations, heat pumps combined with solar panels, and electric storage heaters with solar panels.
In most cases, yes, the homeowners and private tenants both can qualify for La flex funding. It usually depends on whether the property meets the low energy efficiency requirements, and the home is vulnerable to cold weather. Both private tenants and homeowners can contact their local councils if they don’t meet the standard criteria.
The ECO4 is especially designed for homeowners and private tenants who are on means-tested benefits. While the local authority flexible eligibility (LA Flex) is an extension to ECO4, which allows local councils to help vulnerable households with low EPC ratings. Households still need to meet low-income or poor health conditions criteria.
If you are applying through the LA Flex route 1, your collective household income must be under £31,000. And, the EPC rating of your home must be E or lower.
