If it's a decent boiler make, then £700 for boiler and fitting is still good!

The application for the green deal needs to be made by end of 31/12/2013, so you probably still have time. This doesn't mean the installation has to be done by then.

(I'm presuming the finance scheme is the same as the cashback voucher, which is valid for 16 weeks from application, and applications need to be made by 31/12/2013).

It's not the installer fault, as far as I have been told.


One of my collegues was signed up to do this type of work with Gloworm. First of all the paperwork was filled in, then Gloworm changed the goal posts, so they had to get further info. Then the Govt changed the goal posts and required further info, which was not passed on to the boiler manufacturers until late on. Now they have changed things again.


My Colleague has fitted over £40k of boilers, which they are waiting to be paid out on, which have been agreed ok. They have worked out that by the time they have been paid out, the admin and charges they have had, they will be £7k out of pocket.


Gloworm are not even answering telephone calls or emails from the fitters now.

You have no rights, the contract is between the company and your tenant.

The OP is the owner of the property in question, they signed the paperwork for the installation and it was them that paid the required money so why do you think they have no rights?
