- Welcome to the UK's Green Deal Advisor Website - Find Green Deal Advisors and Green Deal AdviceWhat is the UK Green Deal Scheme?
From October 2012 the Government aim to introduce the Green Deal Scheme. The Green Deal Scheme will enable home owners to add energy efficient products to their property up to the value of approx. £10,000 at NO upfront cost to them. The Green Deal Advisor will play a vital role in the Green Deal Scheme. The Green Deal Advisor will perform an Energy Performance survey and assess the property to ensure it can gain from the Green Deal Scheme. Please CLICK HERE for full Green Deal Scheme info.
By using the Energy Certificate the Green Deal Advisor will produce a Green Deal Plan tailored for your property. With your Green Deal Plan you can access your Green Deal Finance. The Green Deal Finance is not like a personal loan - it will be paid back by the savings made on the energy bills by having better insulated properties: a Pay-As-You-Save loan scheme. The Green Deal Finance debt will be attached to the property's electricity bill and NOT to the person or the property. Pay back can be up to 25 years. You pay as you save. If you move away from the property the Green Deal finance debt stays with the property, after all, the new occupier will gain from lower energy bills. A Green Deal Advisor has to assess the property to enure it meets the Green Deal's "Golden Rule"

How will the Green Deal Scheme work?
- To qualify for the Green Deal Scheme a Green Deal Advisor will perform a Green Deal Assessment on your property. The Green Deal Assessment may be performed at no upfront cost to you (to be confirmed). Based on your current lifestyle energy usage the Green Deal Advisor will be able to give Green Deal Advice and energy efficiency recommendations. The Green Deal Advisor will then produce a Green Deal Report. You may then approach a Green Deal Provider for your Green Deal Finance. To find a Green Deal Advisor please CLICK HERE
- Green Deal Installers will fit energy efficiency improvements such as: Cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, solid wall insulation, floor insulation, draught proofing, boiler upgrades, double glazing, solar heat panels, solar PV panels, ground source heat pumps or wind turbines (to be confirmed). To find Green Deal Installers please CLICK HERE.
- Repayments of the Green Deal finance will be paid back by a charge on your energy bill, over approx. 25 years or less. Green Deal Finance is NOT a personal loan and the finance will NOT be attached to your property. If you move the debt stays as a charge on that property's electricty bill. You do NOT have to choose your current electricity supplier as your Green Deal Provider - you can choose from many other Green Deal Providers. To find a Green Deal Provider please CLICK HERE.
There is to be a cooling off period before you proceed. For further Green Deal information please view DECC website - found here.
