Ariston secures ECO4 25% uplift innovation measure for the Nimbus ASHP range

June 9, 2025

Ariston, the heating expert with almost 100 years’ experience, has become the third manufacturer to secure an ECO4 Innovation Measure in the UK.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) scheme is a UK government initiative designed to help improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of homes, particularly for low-income and vulnerable households.

The scheme offers funding for eligible homeowners, landlords and private tenants towards a range of home improvements, including the installation of air source heat pumps (ASHPs), insulation, and other low-carbon measures.

To qualify for the 25% uplift, the installation must include a qualifying model from Ariston’s Nimbus air-to-water ASHP range, which comes with a 10-year warranty, and be enabled for “Active Care” via the Ariston NET app.

Ariston NET is more than just an app, offering both homeowners and installers access to intuitive features that helps maximise performance of the heat pump. The monitoring software available on the Ariston NET app is intended to identify and remediate issues remotely, helping to reduce the necessity for on-site interventions by installers. The easy-to-use app also comes with a quick tutorial, to help homeowners understand how to provide reports and understand the data provided to them, so they can get the most out of their ASHP heating system. This in turn can help to improve the durability of the system and reduce any disruption to the end user.

Edoardo Pauletta D’Anna, UK Managing Director at Ariston, said:

“We’re delighted to be one of the first heat pump manufacturers in the UK to offer a range of ASHP solutions that qualify for the ECO4 Innovation Measure uplift. At Ariston, we believe ‘A Sustainable World Starts At Home’ and this latest achievement further highlights our commitment to delivering high-performance, energy-efficient heating solutions.

“Not only does ECO4 enable homeowners to lower their energy bills while reducing their carbon footprint, but it also drives demand for high-quality, compliant installations. For installers, this presents a significant opportunity to offer eligible customers fully or partially funded upgrades to more efficient heating systems.”
