The Green Deal

There are around 26million homes in the UK and between them they generate about 35% of the carbon gases in this country. These gases are very bad for our environment and cause us to spend and waste a lot of money on heating and hot water for our homes.

The Green Deal system aims to encourage people to improve their homes to the highest possible energy efficient standard and to finance the work recommended by an accredited Adviser and undertaken by an accredited Installer. The improvement work aims to greatly reduce running costs, raise standards, generate greater efficiency and, overall, make the world a far better place for all of us to live in!

Green Deal claims to provide an ‘innovative’ financing solution allowing you to pay back costs through your energy bills. So it’s not a conventional loan since Government says that the bill-payer is not liable for the full capital costs of energy efficient home improvements!

You meet only the charges due while you are the bill-payer!

This all sounds hunky-dory and deserves a closer look because it could just help provide you with one method of financing the way you improve your home.
