The Government Green Deal scheme is aimed at providing energy saving measures to homes such as insulation, draft-proofing and double glazing at no upfront cost. These measures will be paid for via monthly instalments attached to the households energy bills.
A spokesman for the Green Deal, said: “To get energy efficiency measures installed under the Green Deal, a Green Deal Report will need to be carried out on your property to find out what improvements can be made and how much you could save on energy.
“If you go ahead, a Green Deal provider, will provide a loan which can cover all or part of the cost.”
The Energy Saving Trust estimates it will cost £350 to insulate a three bedroom home.
An advice session supervisor, at a North West Citizens Advice Bureau, is urging people to take advantage of the Green Deal.
He said: “The idea is people shouldn’t have to pay more than what they already pay on their energy bill, so it’s no extra cost.
“Once the money is paid back you would start to make savings on other bills because it covers improvements on your energy and it’s a long term investment.
