- Insulation measures: If the measure was installed under ECO and is a type of wall insulation, it will be covered by a guarantee. If the installer has gone out of business or not addressed your concerns, you should then contact the guarantee provider. This information and the guarantee should have been provided to you at installation. All room in roof and underfloor insulation installations carried out after 1 July 2020 must be accompanied by an appropriate warranty of 25 years or more.
- Boiler measures: We required a warranty of at least one year for any boiler repair under ECO1. Under ECO2 and ECO3, we require a warranty for at least a year for a boiler repair, replacement or upgrade. Under ECO4, for installations carried out after 1 January 2020, we require a warranty for a minimum of two years for all boiler installations (1 year for repairs).
We do not hold details of which company issued warranties for boiler repairs, replacements or upgrades. You may also wish to check if the boiler has a manufacturer’s warranty independent of ECO, which may include a separate claims procedure.

However, the product manufacturer or the installer may have provided a policy for the installation and you should refer to this. As of 1 January 2020, all other ECO measures must be accompanied by a guarantee of at least two years.
Please note, some guarantee providers recommend that consumers contact them at the same time as contacting the installer about a complaint. This could help to speed up the resolution of your complaint.
