Green Loans – Domestic and Businesses

3. Domestic and Businesses

1. Green Deal

The Green Deal helps home owners make energy-saving improvements, and offers advice on finding the best way to finance those changes.

The improvements that offer the highest levels of energy saving can be different for every home. Normally they involve changing to condensing water heaters and opting for renewable energy generation, like solar collectors.

There are a number of ways to check if your property can benefit from energy-saving improvements. A Green Deal provider will help you decide if a Green Deal can benefit you, and can help you receive assistance in the form of a Green Deal Cashback or a Green Deal Improvement fund.
