Green Deal Providers UK

Assessments, Advisors, Installation, Finance and Repayments Under The Green Deal Scheme 

The Green Deal is a plan for households to pay for home energy saving improvements by the savings made on energy bills through meter readings.

Cut the cost of heating and electricity bills by signing up for home energy saving measures without upfront capital costs for households, landlords and tenants

The scheme was officially launched in January 2013 and applies to both the domestic and non-domestic (commercial) consumers. There is no limit on the amount on the grant available provided it meets the "golden rule". Cashback schemes are also available from participating companies.

The government-backed organisations that are registered to deliver the Green Deal Plan are Advisors, Providers and Installers. The role of these specialists is detailed below.

Assessments

An assessment of the home or business premises is carried out by a Green Deal Advisor or Green Deal Assessor, these assessors also carry out inspections of dwellings and commercial property for the issue of an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), the survey of the property may be subject to a fee, however many advisers waive the cost of inspecting the premises. Note that independent operators of the scheme can often offer a better deal than larger energy companies for services provided under the plan and often can be found locally.

 

Energy Performance Certificates are issued by registered green deal energy assessors

Finance

 

Foam Insulation in roof spaces

Financing home insulation, solar powered equipment, and heating improvements is easy by talking to an advisor.


A Green Deal Advisor will provide a report, this report containing the recommendations can be given to other Green Deal Providers who are responsible for arranging and funding the improvements specified in the report. Acceptance of an offer from any provider will require signing up to a Green Deal Plan; this is a contract between the property owner and the Green Deal Provider

Installation

A Green Deal Provider is responsible for arranging the services of a Green Deal installer to carry out the work that has been agreed. The Green Deal Installer is an approved contractor that is registered to carry out the installation. There are 45 different energy saving measures available on the market. Get an assessment and find out the entitlement for commercial property and domestic homes.

New replacement condensing gas boilers are available under the scheme

Repayments

Making repayments for the energy saving improvements is easy and simple. The saving made on electricity meter readings over time will pay back the costs of the improvements which can seen on the electricity bill. The electricity supplier passes on the savings made to the Green Deal Provider. The amount that is paid back shall be no more than a typical household would save on heating bills, in all likelihood the savings start from day one. Find out more About The Green Deal 

Should a home move occur then the new owner/tenant would pick up the existing agreement and begin benefiting from the energy savings made at the property. Note that interest will be charged on payments made, however, the rate will be fixed, and a full schedule of all the payments will be made available prior to signing up for the plan. The Green Deal Providers decide the interest rate; compare the market before signing up to get the best deal.
