Green Deal cashback for oil boilers

Green Deal
Householders who install a high efficiency oil-fired condensing boiler to replace an existing model will be eligible for £310 cashback under the Green Deal.
Up to £40m of government funding has been set aside to help householders improve their energy efficiency, and the cash is available from 28 January 2013.
To qualify, householders must get a Green Deal assessment and arrange for the work to be done through a Green Deal provider. OFTEC is already offering Green Deal registration for installers to take advantage of the new scheme, and both owner occupiers and landlords are eligible, providing they pay part of the installation costs.
Initial cashback rates have been set at £100 for loft insulation, £250 for cavity wall insulation and £390 for flat roof insulation.
