Currently, the Government have the ECO Scheme which has been running since 2013, and requires suppliers to help low-income, fuel-poor and vulnerable households to heat their homes by offering energy-efficient home improvements.
To get this help, people have to apply through their energy supplier or through their local council.
Ofgem currently has a list of all participating suppliers in the ECO scheme on its website, however, it is not yet clear whether these same companies will be involved in the ECO+ scheme.
It is expected the ECO+ scheme will run in a similar manner to its predecessor with people applying through the participating energy suppliers.
