Pentland Energy Advice becomes a Green Deal Approved Organisation

3rd July 2013

The only one north of Inverness!

Pentland Energy Advice, which is based in Thurso, has just become a Green Deal Approved Organisation, and this following a lengthy technical assessment and approval process in order to meet the strict criteria the UK Government sets out for their scheme. This coveted achievement by Pentland Energy Advice also followers the success of two of its employees, Angela Craig and Gill Halliday, who both qualified as Green Deal advisors at the end of last year.

So what is the Green Deal? It’s a new way for homeowners to pay for energy-saving home improvements such as loft, cavity or solid wall insulation, double glazing, a new boiler or even a 'micro-generation' system such as solar panels. The way the deal differs from a standard loan is that the repayments a homeowner makes should be covered by the savings made on their energy bill, and this by having the energy-saving home improvements installed.

The Green Deal process has four steps: assessment, finance, installation and repayment. Angela and Gill’s rolls are assessors for the north of Scotland, but also to administer the scheme more widely across Scotland because of Pentland Energy Advice being a Green Deal Approved Organisation.
