￡10,000 payout for a green home revamp
Households will be given up to ￡10,000 to spend on home improvements under plans to be unveiled today.
The money can be used to install energy-saving measures such as roof insulation, double glazing and cavity walls.
But homeowners will also be able to benefit from desirable mod- cons such as under-floor heating and new efficient boilers. They could also get public cash to install water-efficient taps and showers, light fittings and draught proofing.
The Government says 14million homes will benefit. Homeowners will qualify if their houses can be made more energy efficient and energy costs can be cut, though not all will qualify for the full ￡10,000.
This will leave them with cheaper bills, warmer homes and potentially higher house prices.
Environment minister Greg Barker will today hail the ‘Green Deal’ as the greatest home improvements drive since the Second World War.
Ministers claim the scheme will give a ￡2.5billion boost to the economy and create up to 70,000 jobs.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs.
Consumers will have no up-front costs. The scheme will see utility companies, High Street retailers and charities send advisers to houses to identify potential savings. They can then re-fit the homes, bearing the initial cost.
The customer will repay the fee in small instalments levied on their electricity and heating bills over 25 years.
Mr Barker told the Daily Mail: ‘We are raising the Green Deal allowance for improvements to each home that can be funded through savings on the electricity bill, from ￡6,500 promised at the election to ￡10,000.
‘The Coalition is aiming to complete energy improvements to 14million homes by 2020, driving down the cost of family energy bills, protecting consumers against future price rises and making British homes not only greener but warmer and cosier too.’
