Guide by ApplyFreeBoiler.uk (Reliant Energy Solutions Ltd), a heating and insulation installer in Bury, Greater Manchester. We are not the government, Ofgem or an energy supplier.

Park homes can be harder to keep warm than many brick-built houses, and residents often ask whether ECO4 support may apply to them. This page lists the questions people commonly ask. It is general information from ApplyFreeBoiler.uk, a heating and insulation installer in Bury. Eligibility depends on the home, the household and the scheme rules at the time. This page does not guarantee funding.

1. Is a park home covered at all?

Some ECO4 measures can be available for park homes, depending on the home and the household. A survey is needed to confirm what is possible.

2. Who owns what

You may own the home while the site owner owns the pitch. Check your written agreement and talk to the site owner early about any external work.

3. Insulation questions to ask

Ask what insulation is proposed, how it will be fixed, how it affects the outside finish and whether it changes access to the chassis or underfloor.

4. Heating questions to ask

Ask how the home is heated now, whether the proposed heating suits a park home and how the controls will work day to day.

5. Gas, LPG or electric supply

Many park homes use LPG or electricity rather than mains gas. Tell the surveyor exactly what supply you have.

6. Planning ahead for the visit

Have your agreement, any bills and details of past work ready, and make sure the surveyor can reach all sides of the home.

7. Free impartial advice

Citizens Advice and your local council can give free, impartial advice, and some councils run their own help for park home residents.

8. Check funding and local figures
