Green Deal Cashback Levels Increased

Wed, 9 April 2014

Householders, installing solid wall insulation, are now able to claim up to £4000 cashback thank to changes to the Green Deal Cashback Scheme.
 
The government are hoping more people will take up energy efficiency improvements as a result of increasing the levels of cashback available for a number of measures.The scheme helps people to install energy efficiency measures by providing them with money back on the contributions they make towards improvements.

  • Up to £4,000 is now available for solid wall insulation, up from £650
  • Up to £1,000 for anyone needing ‘room in roof’ insulation, increased from £220
  • Up to £650 for households installing double glazing, from £320

The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is also extending the scheme. Applications for Green Deal Cash-back can now be submitted up to the end of June, with a further three months for households to install energy efficiency measures and redeem cash-back vouchers, giving them more time to take advantage of the scheme.
 
DECC has also raised the cap on cash-back payments from 50 per cent of a household’s contribution towards costs, to two thirds, meaning more people will be eligible for the maximum cash-back level.
