LA Flex Funding Scheme

If you are not receiving any benefits, you may still qualify under the LA Flex funding scheme. LA Flex is an acronym for ‘Local Authority Eligibility Flexibility.’

This platform is designed to help homeowners who are not currently receiving any type of aid but are still struggling financially with heating their homes. Energy companies that are approved by this scheme can provide you with significant discounted rates if the insulation within your home needs to be upgraded.

Each Local Authority (LA) has published its own ECO4 Statement of Intent, which provides information regarding qualifying criteria and the application process. This allows the LA to design its own eligibility criteria for the funding to match the needs of its residents, i.e., Age, Health Conditions, Income Levels, Vulnerable Occupiers, etc.

Applications for LA Flex will be carried out by James Frew Ltd. free of charge on behalf of the customer, to save you time and hassle. Once we have completed your application, your Local Authority will give us a Declaration to confirm we can proceed with installing the energy-efficient measures identified as required for your home.
