Green Deal Installers Can Benefit From Green Deal Improvement Fund

News of the launch of the Government's new Green Deal Improvement Fund (GDIF) has sparked excitement in all aspects of the Green Deal industry. Stroma Certification is particularly delighted for our installer members who can anticipate a drip feed of funding into the industry and knock-on benefits of increased jobs, growth and opportunity.

The new scheme, due to be rolled out in June, follows hot on the heels of the Renewable Heat Incentive which provided a boost to the renewable and MCS marketplace. The impending launch of the Green Deal Improvement Fund further incentivises customers and is sure to boost confidence in the Green Deal and energy efficiency technology.

GDIF offers householders the opportunity to apply for up to £7,600 worth of funding to spend on energy efficiency improvements. Once funding has been awarded, the householder must have the work carried out by a certified Green Deal Installer within six months.
