LA FLEX

Local Authority Flexibility

Gross household income should be below £31,000 (rules changed mortgages or council tax not included anymore under La Flex)

At our company, we want to help as many people as possible with their energy needs. That’s why we offer Local Authority Flexibility Eligibility (LA Flex). Even if you don’t qualify for the usual benefits, LA Flex allows you to receive energy-saving insulation or central heating systems if you have a low income or receive benefits.

The LA Flex scheme is an extension of the ECO scheme eligibility provided by the local authority. This scheme has been designed to allow more people to apply for funding by broadening the eligibility criteria. This means that if you are not currently receiving benefits, you may still be eligible for assistance. Homeowners and private renters may be eligible to apply for this scheme. Unfortunately, social housing tenants are not eligible at this time.

Each council has its own set of criteria and requirements, and while you may meet them, it is not guaranteed that you will be eligible.

The local authorities have established specific requirements to qualify which include

If a individual residing at the property is experiencing a particular illness or medical condition.
If a occupant of the property is pregnant.
The number of children who are residing at the property, along with their ages.
If occupant of the property is above a specific age.
If the household income falls below a certain threshold.

If you meet the requirements for LA Flex, you may be able to take advantage of several benefits. These may include:‌

If you don’t have a heating system or if you don’t have a boiler and radiators, you may be eligible for First Time Central Heating (FTCH) installation.
If your home has suspended floors, installing underfloor insulation can help keep your home warm and save you money on your energy bills.
If your boiler is old and inefficient, replacing it with a new one can help improve your home’s energy efficiency and save you money on your energy bills.
These measures are often available at no cost, and installing them can bring many benefits to your home, including lower energy bills, a more comfortable living environment, and a reduced carbon footprint.
