What is the UK Green Deal Scheme?

"The Green Deal will be quite simply Britain's most ambitious home improvement programme ever" - Greg Barker - UK Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change

The UK Government has launched the UK Green Deal Scheme. The Green Deal Scheme will make it possible for millions of home and business owners to have energy efficient improvements installed in their properties at little or NO UP FRONT COST to the owner, tenant or landlord.

The UK Government are giving upto a £1000 in CASH BACK incentive for the first 125,000 households that take up a Green Deal Please CLICK HERE for more info

The UK Green Deal Scheme will enable energy efficient improvements such as: cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, solid wall insulation, condensing boilers, double glazing, floor insulation, solar panels, photovoltaic PV panels, ground source heat pumps, electric storage heaters or wind turbines, amongst many others, installed in the property (for a list of some of the 45+ eligible improvements please CLICK HERE).

The Green Deal UK Scheme will be open to everyone. You may even be able to get Green Deal council tax discount. A discount on your council tax for having a Green Deal done on your home or business (to be confirmed)

The UK Green Deal is NOT means tested. The Green Deal Finance debt will be attached to your property's electricity bill and not to you or your property. If you move the debt stays will the property's electricity bill as is not attached to you and will not be a charge against the property.

The Green Deal UK scheme will enable Green Deal providers, such as private firms, councils and charities, to offer these energy efficiency improvements by offering Green Deal Finance, of up to approx. £10,000. Pay back for the UK Green Deal improvements, in accordance with your Green Deal Plan, will be recouped by instalments, over 25 years or less, from a charge made on the home or energy electricity bills. The Green Deal debt will NOT be attached to you or your property.

In other words and as an example: You install more loft insulation, replace your old boiler, get your cavity walls insulated and install a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves then your energy bills should be lower because your running costs/heating bills will be lower because you have added extra energy efficient improvements. You would then be able to use the money you have saved on your lower energy bills to pay back your Green Deal Finance. You may have to pay towards some improvements yourself (say for example glazing, boilers, solar panels etc) if they do not fully meet the "Golden Rule". Note: Your gas bill should fall due to energy measure installed but your electrcity bill will rise (but at a lesser amount) to enable repayment of the Green Deal Finance

The Green Deal UK scheme will enable you to have quality-assured work carried out on your property by Green Deal Installers. The Green Deal Finance will be provided by a Green Deal Provider. Green Deal Providers are smaller companies, high-street retailers, utility companies, local councils and charities, amongst others. You won't have to pay for any work up front (unless the measure does not meet the "Golden Rule"). All Green Deal participants must adhere to a strict Green Deal Code.

Green Deal Finance is NOT like a personal loan - the Green Deal Finance debt will be attached to the property's electricity bill. The debt will NOT attached to you and will NOT attached to your property. If you move house, repayments for the Green Deal finance will be recouped, by instalments, from a charge on the new occupier's electricity bill - after all, the new owner will also be benefiting from the work you have had done.

Installations under the Green Deal UK scheme, both domestic properties and commercial properties, will all have to meet a single key principal: The expected savings must be greater than the cost of the work being done - this is known as the "Green Deal Golden Rule". The Green Deal Plan and Green Deal Code also covers Green Deal Scotland and Green Deal Wales. Please refer to Green Deal DECC website for more details.

How Do I Apply for the Green Deal UK Scheme?

Step 1 of the Green Deal UK scheme:

Instruct a Green Deal Advisor

A Green Deal Advisor will perform a Green Deal Assessment on your home or business property (Please always check if the company will charge you up front). Based on your current lifestyle / energy usage the Green Deal Advisor will be able to give Green Deal Advice and recommendations. After Green Deal Advice has been given the Green Deal Advisor will produce a Green Deal Report. (Please always check if the Green Deal Advisor will be paid commission on any sales made to you after you receive impartial Green Deal advice from them)

Your Green Deal Plan will then be created. Green Deal energy efficient improvements are said to include: Cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, solid wall insulation, floor insulation, draught proofing, boiler upgrades, double glazing, solar water panels, wind turbines and ground source heat pumps (note: some improvements may have to be part funded by you if they do not meet the "Green Deal Golden Rule" ) There will be a 24 hour cooling off period before you sign up for any Green Deal plan.

Declaration:
There is no charge to you for using our referral service. We are paid by charging advisor/provider/installer/training companies a fee for this referral service. Any advice or assistance given to you by a third party company does not represent Green Deal Scheme Ltd advice or assistance and is not checked or endorsed by Green Deal Scheme Ltd. It is your decision whether or not you act on any advice or assistance you are given. Any contract agreed is with you and your chosen advsisor/provider/installer/training company. Green Deal Scheme Ltd expressly denies and excludes all liability of any nature in the respect of the use or misuse of this website
Take your time in making a decision - If you are promised a 'special discount' or 'time limited' offer don't be tempted to sign up straightaway. Shop around with different businesses to make sure you get a good deal. Remember: you can ask a salesperson to leave your home at any time.
Double check the facts - Check the product is suitable for your home, whether you are eligible for any grants towards the cost of installation, and the basis of any claims about potential energy savings or benefits. Only agree to go ahead if you're entirely satisfied.
Know what you are signing - Check whether you are signing a contract or just agreeing to a survey or a quote. Give yourself enough time to read all the paperwork, and ask questions if you are unclear about anything. Don't sign if you are unsure about doing so.
Know your cancellation rights - Where you buy on your doorstep or in your home and you spend more than £35, you usually have seven calendar days to change your mind and cancel, and can get back any money you have already paid, including a deposit - the 'cooling off' period. The cooling off period starts on the day you are given your written cancellation notice by the salesperson. Think carefully before you agree to any work starting during the cooling off period - you can still cancel but may have to pay a reasonable amount.
Know your rights if things go wrong - Make sure you know what you can do if things go wrong. Contact Citizens Advice for information and advice on your legal rights.
