Delivered Direct to Your Door: Advice to Make Your Home Greener

Communities Minister Andrew Stunell has outlined plans for the new scheme that will enable homeowners and tenants to receive tailored advice about how to make their homes greener and save money, delivered direct to their door. Companies offering services to upgrade homes through the Government's Green Deal will be able to access information about the energy efficiency of properties that have an Energy Performance Certificate, and deliver tailored advice to individual homes. Proposals published today set out how the system for accessing this information will work. The Green Deal is the Government's new and radical way of making energy efficiency available to all, whether people own or rent their property. Green Deal providers will carry work to upgrade properties so they become warmer and cheaper to run. Homeowners and tenants will have the opportunity to save money - with all the costs to upgrade the property paid back from the saving on energy bills. Read more on the CLG website.
