Homeowners of existing properties interested in installing a ground source heat pump or air source heat pump may need to consider improving the insulation of their property first, to ensure that the heat pump will perform efficiently. The Green Deal may be able to help when making these improvements.
The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have announced that homeowners could now claim up to two thirds of the cost of insulation improvements, this has been increased from the previous 50% cap.
Also for particular measures the Green Deal cashback levels have been increased. These include:
- Up to £4,000 for solid wall insulation, up from £650
- Up to £1,000 for ‘room in roof’ insulation (eg, for those with loft conversions), increased from £220
- Up to £650 for households installing double glazing, from £320

Green Deal applications can be submitted up to the 30th June 2014, with energy improvements to be installed, and vouchers redeemed, by 30th September 2014.
