Storage heater Grants

Been contacted by a company called Short Bros.Homes of Llanelli regarding storage heater grants. i have been through this earlier in the year with a company called Work Work Ltd. Lady sent me a form to complete for the survey, absolutely no cost to me. However, the company name on the form is Install Install Ltd, with an address in London. It would appear that these 3 companies are the same and are trying to use a different name to get me to sign up. Does anyone out there know anything about Work Wok ltd, Install Install Ltd, or Short Bros. Homes,please. I have done a few company checks but could do with some further information. Thanks

    It's most likely to be a cold call from a company trying to sell you new heaters under the guise of "grants"

    ECO grants see qualifying criteria first. Most just get you to pay £2-4k contribution . If you respond to cold callers you are quackers:rotfl: for "walks like a duck etc"

    In my experience anything that has a grant tends to be at least twice as expensive as summat that doesn't so it costs you the same if not more in the end.

    I'd be very wary of any cold callers trying to stitch (sorry) sign you up for a deal.
