According to the governement, interest in the Green Deal scheme launched in January is building, with hundreds of Green Deal Reports already completed.
A spokesperson for the Department of Energy and Climate Change has said, 'we are seeing up to 10,000 hits on our online guide and over 3,000 calls to the Energy Saving Advice Service helpline about the Green Deal Scheme each week.
The Green Deal scheme launched the end of January, aimed to cut energy bills and carbon emissions from buildings by improving energy efficiency making it easy and affordable for both homes and businesses. The improvements can be paid for over time through consumers energy bills and the repayments are set as to not exceed the savings on energy achieved by the improvements on a typical house.
By 2020 the government hopes to have insulated 14 millions homes through the Green Deal scheme and have said that the Green Deal could kick start a £14 billion market over the next decade creating at least 65,000 insulation and construction jobs by 2015.
A national advertising campaign to drum up interest of the Green Deal has been launched by the government and so far since the launch awareness has grown by 20%.
