Green Deal Cashback Announced – £270 Boiler Scrappage For Homeowners

• 

Green Deal Cashback Initiative from GreenDealAccredited.com

The Government have just confirmed a cashback scheme for homeowners taking up the Green Deal.

(PRWEB UK) 21 October 2012

The Cashback is open to any householder making energy saving improvements under the Green Deal, after 28th January 2013. This includes owner occupiers, those renting privately or in social housing. Landlords, both private and social, are also eligible where they pay installation costs, up to certain limits. In all cases, Cashback will be capped at 50% of the householder’s contribution to costs.

Householders must follow the Green Deal process through;

•     Get a Green Deal Advice Report for their property
•     Agree a Green Deal plan with a provider, this could be via their local Green Deal Installer
•     Apply for the cashback online or over the phone (some providers will do this for them)
•     Redeem the voucher once the works are complete

The Green Deal cashback initiative, alongside the earmarked advertising fund, is a bit more indication of the governments backing to this “flagship policy”. With businesses promoting Green Deal now and pinning their colours to it, the pressure will be on for the government led scheme to succeed. If you want to get involved from the outset now is the time to start putting the Green Deal system in place and beat the rush to get Green Deal registered in time for January 28th.

How much can customers get?
These rates are guaranteed for the first £40m after which the rates are likely to reduce, so customers will need to act early to get the best rates. Up to £125m has been earmarked for the scheme as a whole.
