The scheme was announced by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and aims to support domestic and commercial installations. <\/p>\n<p>The scheme works by having accredited Green Deal certification companies assess the property, analysing the improvements that could be made and the energy saving potential. Depending on the results, the homeowners or businesses can opt for the upgrades, paying no upfront costs. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, a loan is issued for the improvements, paid back with the money saved on energy bills each year. And the Golden Rule of the scheme is that you won\u2019t pay back more than you\u2019re saving. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in the Green Deal, there are three steps involved to upgrading your home\u2019s energy efficiency:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1). An assessment is completed on your property, calculating energy saving potential and measures available.<\/li>\n<li>2). Customising and agreeing to join the Green Deal, whereby payback amounts are worked out and contracts signed.<\/li>\n<li>3). The installation or fitting of energy efficiency improvements by a Green Deal registered company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the Green Deal offers much promise to tradesmen and companies in the UK.
