Homeowners in England and Wales have the opportunity to apply for Green Deal Cashback Funding Scheme. The Green Deal Cashback Scheme allows owners to make home improvements in order to save energy, without bearing the full cost for the improvements. Thus, you can make energy saving changes to your home and the Government will provide you with cash-back for some of the expense.
Eligibility
Every homeowner within England and Wales can qualify for the Cashback Scheme by conducting improvements within their home once they have applied for the Green Deal scheme. The Government will pay nearly two-thirds of the costs of the energy efficient changes. Thus, the more changes you make, the more you are paid.

Process
In order to apply for a Green Deal Cashback Scheme, you should follow this process:
- First, you need to apply for a Green Deal assessment of your home. Once the assessment has been completed, it will provide you with a list of recommended measures in which you can attain cash-back on them.
- To determine the amount of cashback, get quotes from a Green Deal Provider who can estimate the costs and benefits of various energy saving methods for your property.
- Apply for the Cashback Scheme prior to beginning the improvement work. You can either register yourself online or get assistance from a valid Green Deal Provider.
- The Scheme clearly states that all changes must be made within 3 months of registration, except for the process of solid wall insulation, which can take as long as 6 months for completion.
- With the help of your Green Deal Provider, you can ascertain that you have made all of the necessary modifications within your home, and thus, you are eligible for a cashback. You will only receive payment for the changes once they have been completed.
