Becosmart (or is it B-Ecosmart ?)
Hello
Anyone experience of dealing with a company called Becosmart or maybe B-Ecosmart ?
They came to my door today on spec. According to them if in receipt of child benefit and/or certain others such as Carers Allowance, we can get extra insulation in loft/walls and also a free boiler.
Government and energy companies are paying for this as it's a 'green initiative' supposedly. The scheme is known as an ECO Energy Company Obligation.
I asked specifically if anyone at any point would give me a bill and they said a definite no.
I'll admit i'm interested, not the insulation so much, but our boiler is on it's last legs and is ancient so that would be amazing if true but it sounds too good!
Anyone else experienced this company? I've googled and I see there are lots of companies doing this kind of thing and I know these gov schemes are real, just can't find much about this particular company. Can't find reviews from actual customers etc. Any advice welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You should never respond to cold callers.
If you want to apply for a grant then contact your energy company or have a word with the CAB to see if you would qualify
