The Green Deal Hub — December 24th 2012
When the Green Deal starts on January 28, 2013, most people participating in the Green Deal will will do so in order to benefit from the quick savings you can make by taking part.
Many who apply first will find the cash-back an incentive to sign-up, whilst others may be thinking of the savings made on their energy bills. However, as tempting as these savings are, there are other long term benefits to be had as well.
Homeowners may want home improvements such as a new boiler or insulation installed, whilst other may just want double glazing. Through the Green Deal, all of these energy efficient home improvements can be made with the help of Green Deal finance. Green Deal finance is where a householder can take out a Green Deal grant and have the improvements made at no upfront cost. The loan repayments are then made through the savings made on the energy bills.
Other important, long term benefits are that the home improvements that are made could well see your home increase in price! This is even more attractive when you consider the home improvements were made at no upfront cost.
The final long term benefit benefit of a Green Deal Grant, is that if you want to sell your house. The Green Deal loan stays withe the property. So the person who buys your house will take over the repayments.
These are just a few points to think about before the Green Deal Starts next year.
