Please quote The Word when responding to advertisements 29 Is the Green Deal the right deal for you?
The government’s Green Deal scheme aims to help more homeowners refurbish their homes by spreading the costs over future energy bills. But is it the right deal for you?
Under the ‘Golden Rule’ any technologies installed must be so energy efficient that loan repayments should be less or equal to the money saved. So, for example, a 30% more efficient boiler could be installed. It delivers the same heat with 30% less fuel. You are then saving money on heating your house. Under the scheme this saving is used to repay the loan for the boiler. You get a new boiler, the house heats up faster, it’s more comfortable and you aren’t out of pocket.
So, what’s the catch? Firstly, the sums aren’t simple. For example, as energy suppliers charge more for the first block of units, a 30% reduction in gas use does not equal a 30% reduction in bills. Secondly, basic loft and cavity wall insulation are unlikely to remain cheap or free under the scheme. Thirdly, interest payable on the loan might be 6 - 7%. If you have money and expect to stay put, you may get a better return paying for the work yourself.
If you are unsure, talk to someone who has already greened their home. SuperHomers host free Open Days in spring and September. They can explain both the beneÞts and challenges of eco renovation. See the website to book a visit or, for the latest on the Green Deal, see www.superhomes.org.uk/greendeal
