EffectiveAshleigh Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Suzie, Most measures that make your property more energy efficient is available through ECO (under Affordable Warmth).

Chestnut Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Ashleigh, Good website. Glad to see that it recommends repair of boilers working above 86% SEDBUCK, rather than replacement. This is not always clear in 'new for old' schemes. Somewhere back on this forum we calc'd that replacing an 86% old boiler will only save about 5% - 10% energy per year, which, at present fuel prices, would take 200 years or so to recover costs of replacement. Assuming new has 20 year life, one only recovers 1/10th of cost before next replacement is needed. No actual saving! I think ECO grants come from our money.... I like Green Deal DECC proposal for street-by-street deals. Having had to remove carport roof twice in 2 years some years ago to access neighbouring cavity walls, I recall suggesting this idea to L Authority!

EffectiveAshleigh Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi Chestnut, Glad you like the website! ECO Funding (just over £1.3bn per year until 2015) is basically Energy Suppliers profits. The Government set the initiative upon them to give back this money so that it can go to Localo Authorities, Housing Associations and, most importantly, within the private housing sector. I'm trying to look for private landlords with a portfolio of roughly 15 properties or more, to see if we could expand our clientele to get this funding to Landlords. Would you know where I would find such information? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
