But that’s only “warm front” and I think its a bit of a waste of time and money. Its only like for like replacements. There are other programs around you know !!!!!
We fitted a ground pump, under floor heating and other stuff for someone outside Crawley in March and they got a 75% grant for the work.
I don’t think they got any benefits, unless them 2 BMW in their double garage are mobility scooters. Maybe that swimming pool was for local school to use?
No but i bet they could afford it eh
We did about 7.5k of work for them and they only paid about £1800 for the work.
The grant cover most of it.
Its all down to you and how much you are willing to look around. There are grants not only from your local councils, but from the EEC and other sources for “green” home heating and hot water.
