The Green Deal Cashback Scheme is a first-come, first-served offer where householders in England and Wales can claim Cashback from Government on energy saving improvements like insulation, front doors, windows and boilers. Packages could be worth over £1000 - the more you do, the more you get.
Please scroll down for further information.
The Cashback Scheme is open to householders making energy saving improvements under the Green Deal. This includes owner-occupiers, those renting privately or in social housing. Landlords, both private and social, are also eligible where they pay installation costs, up to certain limits.

Green Deal Cashback is a limited offer while funds last. Government has guaranteed that £40m will be available at the rates listed on this site. After this, Cashback amounts may reduce.
Householders will need to apply for a voucher which will be redeemed once Cashback work is completed. To qualify for the Cashback householders must:
Providers will redeem the voucher on your behalf and you'll receive Cashback payment within 30 days. Remember that Cashback payments are only available for work recommended on your Green Deal Assessment.
Householders can fund improvements through a Green Deal Plan, or however they wish, and get the Cashback but they must use a Green Deal Provider to arrange the work. The more improvements a householder makes, the bigger the Cashback.
Householders can only make one claim for the Cashback, but it may cover a package of improvements recommended by the Green Deal assessment. The Government Cashback is separate and additional to any similar offers that may be made by Green Deal Providers.
Householders can also choose to donate some or all of their Cashback to a charity or community interest company who has signed up with the Cashback Administrator.
