no idea what any of that is, so I assume I can't, or at least can't be bothered.
if it kick starts solar the same way it's kick started every other measure, I can't wait for that extra couple of jobs to share between the industry nationwide.So greendeal finance is almost available the solar industry will be kick started again won't it
Have you actually had any green deal funded installs (of any technology) carried out through to the installers being paid?If your entering the market now forget eco funding for boilers your too late this year. its all given out. Providers all have different business models some pay p/£ others set rates...... everybody as setup small networks and coming in now will be hard I am so glad I took the gamble while all you guys where taking the P**s ...... I think green deal is the way forward and it will bring solar back but along side say EWI and other measures all rolled into the same green deal plan...... Also there is talk you council tax will go off your EPC. The EPC is the new king of construction........ good times are coming for us fingers crossed I even hand my RECC audit in today ready for solar
I agree with that. Those that took the leap for the Green Deal should be in a good position for whatever scheme comes next even if the Green Deal fails.EPC. The EPC is the new king of construction........ good times are coming for us fingers crossed
That's nearly right. Boilers are priced at pounds saving over life of boiler and then auctioned at pence in the pound.
The providers are trying to keep all the real profit but its a risk if they can't fulfil their commitment to brokerage. So installers hang fire especially if you can deliver big numbers!
We all need to make a living and low prices to installers will just deliver crap jobs!
I think green deal is the way forward
I also see that in Germany their equivalent of the GD is financed at 1% and is a big success.
The Affordable Warmth part of ECO is brokered at £/tonne of CO2 saving. Was £125/tonne in April but now fallen to £95/tonne. (The brokerage is how an 'independant' GDP gets funds from an energy supplier but will not apply to a Big6er who is both, so they will have other means of deciding price.) Yes, other parts of ECO are priced differently.
There are plenty of rumours (on LinkedIn) of bad practices around ECO that are being investigated by Gemserv. Expect more bad publicity for GD.

unless I'm missing something, you seem to have actually deleted them.Some posts moved to Sun Lounge
I moved them and the deleted them on Eco Deal's request.unless I'm missing something, you seem to have actually deleted them.
think green deal is into double figures now nationally, so obviously is a rip roaring success.So what's happening with Eco and the green deal now. Has the green deal got going yet.
that's if they get paid at all, sounds likethis firm is just bumping each new fitter that comes along, then dangling the carrot of 5 installs a week in front of the next mug...That's not good news Gavin a lot of the guys on the gas forum I go on are installing as many as 5 boilers a week and I doubt many could could wait 90 days for payment.

RT @nationalandlord: 1/2 #NLA welcomes the Governments response on the Consumer Credit Act & hopes it finally allows #landlords to take advantage of #GreenDeal
Not having a lot of luck trying to get a decent rate from providers that are accepting new installers. Off for a meeting with Green Deal Central tomorrow so I hope a good deal can be made.
If not then I don't know what to do, we currently have 5 jobs ready to roll and around 30+ jobs pre qualified ready to survey and EPC.
Crucially it is clear that standard insulation opportunities can, at the moment, deliver carbon
savings at lower cost per tonne in ECO subsidy than harder to treat measures. In the context of
immediate concerns about the overall costs of ECO and its impact upon consumer bills, it is
more difficult to justify a policy which excludes these measures. The Government therefore
proposes that loft insulation (including both virgin and top-up loft insulation) and standard cavity
wall insulation measures installed from April 2014 should be eligible as primary measures under
CERO. Therefore, the current differentiation between hard-to-treat and standard cavities would
be removed, with all forms of cavity wall potentially eligible for treatment under CERO
We would propose that the eligibility rules, as set out under the current legislation, on measures
under CERO would continue to apply to the new primary measures. So to qualify under CERO
loft and cavity wall insulation will have to:
a. be a recommended measure;
b. improve the insulation properties of the premises; and
c. comply with PAS 2030.
For loft insulation as a new primary measure Government recognise that a de-minimis level for
the depth and area of the insulation is appropriate to ensure optimal treatment prior to triggering
secondary measures. We therefore propose that to support the ‘secondary measure’ status of
another measure loft insulation must be:
a. installed in lofts which currently have less than or equal to 150mm of insulation (to a
level of at least 250mm of insulation); and
b. installed to at least 50 per cent of the total area of the loft.
For cavity wall insulation as a new primary measure we propose that a de-minimis level for the
area of the insulation is appropriate prior to triggering secondary measures. We therefore
propose that to support the ‘secondary measure’ status of another measure cavity wall
insulation must be installed to at least 50 per cent of the total exterior-facing walls of the
premises.
