"The Green Deal will be the biggest home improvement programme since the Second World War shifting our outdated draughty houses from the past into the future .."
Greg Barker, UK Climate Change Minister
The Green Deal, 2012 is the UK government's flagship energy-savings plan to transform the country's homes to make them warmer and cheaper to run
"The mission is to reduce carbon emissions cost-effectively by revolutionising the energy efficiency of British properties"
Department of Energy & Climate Change
From 2012 homeowners will be able to access up to £10,000 upfront to pay for energy-efficiency work, repaying the costs through efficiencies on energy bills
Similar support will be available through the Green Deal for businesses and there will be extra help for vulnerable people or those living in homes which need more work than Green Deal finance alone will stretch to
