Green Deal Home Improvement Fund (GDHIF) reopens on Wednesday 10th December 2014

[TheGreenerLondonCo]

From 9am on Wednesday the scheme will be open to new applicants looking for help with the cost of installing energy saving measures such as solid wall insulation, double glazing, boilers, cavity wall and floor insulation amongst others*.

The government has only set aside a total of ?30 million in vouchers this quarter. Once the funding has been used up applications will no longer be accepted, so customers need to act quickly.

Domestic energy customers can now receive:

? up to ?4,000 for installing solid wall insulation;

? up to ?1,000 for installing two measures from an approved list;

? up to ?100 refunded for their Green Deal Assessment;

? up to ?500 more if applying within 12 months of buying a new home.

To complete the application:

? Householders simply need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), or Green Deal Advice Report (GDAR) that is less than 2 years old

? Householders need to obtain and submit a quote for the works to be completed in order to apply for a voucher

? Proof of property ownership (for landlords/undertakings only)

We are a local business based in and around East Dulwich and Peckham, contact us at [email protected] if you require an updated EPC, or a quote for installation of the energy efficient measures. Please state your name, full address and the measures you are interested in installing.

Customers who have purchased the property to be improved within the last 12 months may be eligible for an additional ?500 home buyers bonus. A rebate towards the cost of a Green Deal Advice Report is subject to a successful voucher application, the installation of the eligible measures through the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund and compliance with the scheme terms and conditions.
