That seems to be how things work now.Spanish middleman ?
Brexitingly! The gov refuse to say what they paid the US company to 'manage' this scheme, guessing its another mate.It's all gone really rather well then.
Heat pumps seem to be the only thing getting vouchers! Interesting that you got a letter, was it from an 'official' place or general salesmen type thing? They seem to be quickest to fit vs the money charged, I think they're the latest cash cow for certain groups that target government grants but they be wrong.Just had a letter essentially asking me to apply for a heat pump system.
That's interesting, a council trying to spend!It's from SCC but with a load of corporate logos on too/
Not sure how well it would work in an 18th century cottage in a conservation area either. We are nowhere near up to modern building regs and nor can we be.That's interesting, a council trying to spend!
If a heat pump is for you it's a no brainer, but depends on personal cost. You get 5k towards it normally with a 1/3 contribution expected, or 10k and no contribution if on certain benefits. I believe they work quite differently though, better for underfloor and constant temps than short bursts.
So just wood/coal? Or electric I guess?Looked on the website we were directed to. It was specifically for rural properties but you could only use if it if you didn't have gas or oil heating.
