How To Join The Scheme?
Decide what improvements you need.
Get quotes from a range of certified installers for all improvements (one has to be certified with the Green Home Grant Scheme.)
Provide your quote when you register to the scheme.
You will receive a voucher for each improvement (e.g 1 voucher for low carbon heat and 1 voucher for double glazing).
Once the voucher has arrived, the installer can begin work.
The installer will need to give you a dated copy of your invoice per installation, a certification of energy efficiency improvements measures, a guarantee document, MCS certificate and manufacturer instructions, plus a Biomass Supplier List.
When your voucher is accepted the grant will be paid directly to the installer.
