The Local Authority Flexible Eligibility, often shortened to LA Flex, is a part of the UK Government’s ECO Scheme.
What is the LA Flex Funding Scheme?
LA Flex, also known as Local Authority Eligibility Flexibility, helps homeowners or private tenants with the installation of home energy efficiency measures. LA Flex is available to those who aren’t in receipt of tested means benefits but are living in fuel poverty or are on low income and vulnerable to living in a cold home. The application process for LA Flex will be carried out by ourselves on behalf of you the customer.
There are several eligibility routes including:
• Low income (under £31,000) eligibility
• Health/vulnerable eligibility
• Bespoke targeting eligibility
Your home also needs an EPC rating of D-G (this varies for certain eligibility routes).

What funding is available on the LA Flex Scheme?
LA Flex is set out by Local Authorities to help increase the number of properties that can benefit from grants for heating and insulation. This scheme is an extension of the UK government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, and it allows local authorities to set their own criteria for eligibility on funding for domestic energy efficiency measures.
Under the LA Flex scheme we can help provide you with potential home insulation and heating improvements if you’re eligible. This includes:
- A new central heating system
- Upgrades to the existing heating system
- Insulation measures
What makes LA Flex different to the ECO scheme?
LA Flex allows for more funding given to Local Authorities to identify those who fall short of the eligibility for the ECO scheme but would benefit from added insulation or heating measures. It’s essentially the same scheme, with a different application process.
The looser set of rules will result in the same thing for you. This could be a free boiler replacement, new cavity wall insulation or solid wall insulation. There are different rules for different Local Authorities for LA Flex, but we take the stress away from you and sort this on your behalf.
