I'm with N-Power and all I could find was a grant to replace old boilers

Ring N-Power as the lady @ BG told me that ALL the energy suppliers will be doing the scheme - I think its the LAW now , maybe trying to help with the shocking rise in what they call ''fuel poverty''

With regards in insulation and new boilers, check out the home front web site ... I have just applied to get my house done

I am with British Gas and the only thing I don't understand is why the rebate is given on your ELECTRIC meter rather than your gas as to keep warm surely a nice credit of £120 on your gas meter would help you get through the colder months in heating rather than the credit being on your electricity meter

(

The rebate is given on electric because not everyone has gas. The government wanted it to be fair and accessible to all .... and everyone uses electric.

That makes sense actually! lol

I've just had another call to BG , not so nice this time , as I wanted to change to Direct Debit payments which would save me a heap as prepayment is the most expensive form of fuel

I don't owe them anything but still didn't pass the credit check so am stuck with the meters and higher prices!!!

All I can think is roll on the move to a smaller , more cozy , cheaper to heat place than where I am living now even though its lovely - The last 2 winters have been a NIGHTMARE for me fuel cost / trying to keep warm wise as the charges for fuel have been ridiculously high and keeping warm has actually been impossible for me

If you need it, and can't afford it APPLY APPLY APPLY it costs nothing to apply and you never know you may just fit into a category that is eligible. "If you don't ask you don't get", as my dear old mum used to say. There is so much out there that we never seem to hear about. If it wasn't for Martin I think thousands of us would be struggling to keep our heads above water far more than we are.

Thanks but I just tried, and if you don't get any of the benefits listed above it won't let you proceed with the application form. I expect we'd be eligible for a boiler scrappage grant as our boiler is about 25 yrs old but we can't afford to pay the large remainder unfortunately.

Anyone know if the Co-Op offer anything along these lines re the rebate scheme? Can't see anything online.
