Green Deal & Eco Funds

[sedgy34]

Eco funding would need an Epc to work out the funding then the additional cost they would have to pay to meet the installation cost
If they use green deal finance to pay for the extra towards the Installation cost they will need a GDAR carried out

any of the above the installer will have to be green deal accredited

there is the RHI to look at also

Just negotiated a deal on Ideal logic 24he boilers inc flue £465+vat.
does that sound ok?

Yes who you got that with

PTS and I think Plumb Centre are having a look at matching it.
Apparently there is a £90 concession for the 24kw version and a £130 for the 30kw

sounds like it's unlikely to last anything like the lifetime assumed in ECO / Green Deal, and you'll get stung on warranty work.

Do I have to provide a minimum warranty ?

Eco fundings down to about 14 / £1

Had interesting chat today with one of the leading people at Domestic & General Insulation ..... They reckon that the Green Deal will be restructured around October to go 100% ECO.

There reasoninig seems to make sense, for the Green Deal to work, the Energy companyies have got a lot to do to structure and manage re-payments etc.

The only actual target that the energy company has is energy reduction around the ECO scheme ..... Why they should they (the energy companies) co-operate with a complicated ill thought out finance scheme that for anybody with any sense it doesn't add up for.. when they can easily meet their obligations with ECO (with processes not too dissimilar from what they operated before)

Also seems that every Cavity Wall they come across now just happens to be 'Hard To Treat / HTT' so just happens to qualify for ECO.... weird that, oh well they I suppose must have done all the easy ones on the old schemes I guess

Now that would make much more sense - give be a grant to do my EWI and forget all this green deal stuff.

dunno mate, you're asking on the sparks forums about a gas boiler - presumably you're pas whatever certified, it should tell you in that documentation somewhere - I think MCS standards are 2 years minimum, so would think that'd be the absolute minimum.

I just remember our ex-heating engineer saying he wouldn't touch them with a barge pole due to the call backs you'd get from them... but I know nowt about it personally.

sounds about right... massive delays in funding to launch a new scheme, resulting in mass lay offs and company bankruptcies, followed shortly afterwards by the scheme being quietly dropped and reverting to essentially the same scheme as before, just under a different name and adminstered in a more free market manner.

got to love the UK's politicians and civil servants eh, if it ain't broke they'll be sure to attempt to fix it.

 

[Eco Deal]

yes you need a two year minuim warranty on boilers

 

[Crusader]

Does anybody know of any companies that currently have eco finance available, one of our providers have let us down and run out of cash!

 

[SRE]

So original Green Deal quietly dies while it's proclaimed to be a success because it's now ECO?

 

[Eco Deal]

Eco funding as gone to the dogs already !

 

[SRE]

What do you mean? Allocated to all the big guys?? Have you seen the Encraft assessment of GD so far - really interesting.
