The ECO Scheme is a government-backed initiative that helps homeowners and private tenants upgrade their hot water cylinders to more efficient models, absolutely free. That's right, you could get a brand new, A-rated cylinder installed for free, simply by switching to a qualifying energy supplier.

What is a Hot Water Cylinder?

A hot water cylinder is a tank that stores heated water for your home’s various needs, from showers and baths to dishwashing and laundry. It’s like a personal reservoir of hot water, ensuring a steady supply whenever you need it.

There are two main types of hot water cylinders:

Direct: Water is heated directly in the cylinder by an immersion heater or boiler.
Indirect: Water is heated in a separate heat exchanger by a boiler or renewable energy source like a solar thermal system.

How Does a Hot Water Cylinder Work?

The process is quite simple:

Cold water from your main supply enters the cylinder.
The heating element (immersion heater or heat exchanger) kicks in, warming the water.
Hot water rises to the top of the cylinder, ready for use.
As you draw hot water, cold water automatically refills the cylinder to maintain the level.

Upgrading to a newer, more efficient cylinder can significantly reduce your energy bills. The ECO4 Scheme can cover the entire installation cost, making the switch even more attractive. Plus, you’ll be doing your part for the environment by reducing your carbon footp
