Green Deal

Announced today:

Households in England and Wales can get energy efficiency work done without having to pay the full cost upfront from today.

Under the Government's Green Deal, households will be able to get insulation, draught-proofing, double glazing and more installed using a loan, and repay the money in instalments via their electricity bill.

Homes in Scotland will qualify from 25 February, while homes in Northern Ireland will not be able to take part.

    I wouldn't get too hung up on the scheme not being available here. Taking out a 9% loan to pay for a boiler that will need replacing in 15 years doesn't strike me as a wise financial choice. Good luck selling your home if you take one of the loans out. The loan stays with the house not the applicant.
