Green Deal - helps you make energy-saving improvements
to your home and find the best way to pay for them.
The improvements that could save you the most energy
depend on your home, but typical examples include:
 insulation, e.g. solid wall, cavity wall or loft insulation
 heating
 draught-proofing
 double glazing
 renewable energy generation, e.g. solar panels or heat
pumps

6. Funding
Green Deal - You can get finance for an
amount based on what you’ll be expected
to save on your energy bills. You pay back
the loan through a charge added to your
electricity bill. A small amount will be taken
from the meter each day if you have a
prepayment meter.

16. Opportunities
Approved Contractor
You can become authorised as a Green Deal installer if:
 Your company is certified by a Certification Body as
meeting the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2030 for
the measures you wish to install. Both you and your
company are required to meet the relevant requirements
of PAS 2030. Certification bodies will certify installer
organisations against the relevant parts of the PAS
standard. It is then the responsibility of the certified
organisation to ensure their employees meet the relevant
standards;
 You comply by the conditions as detailed in the Green
Deal Code of Practice on the DECC and GD ORB websites;
 You keep clear records of work done and allow monitoring
of installation work when requested.

17. Opportunities
Approved Installer
To become an improved installer you are
required to complete Wetherby’s “carding”
procedure. Once completed, you would then
be able to work under any Wetherby Approved
Contractor. Eco Residential will facilitate such
contact on Energy at Home projects where we
are not the approved contractor.
We are currently working with partners to offer
free training for those interested in becoming
Wetherby installers
