The Green Deal

[anz]

How do you get the funding off the energy companies?
From my research I've only found one or two green Deal providers who have actually got funding set aside for the ECO, but can't find exactly how to contact the energy companies direct for the money.

Are you asking as an installer mate?

 

[anz]

Yeah as an installer.

It's my understanding that unfortunately there's several 'middle men' between the Power Companies & the Installers.
So my advice is to find a good middle man, that will pay you, at a fair price for the job & looks for quality work.

Guys,

I'm just finishing getting registered with my pas 2030.
i have 2 providers 1 is a 1st tier provider and the other is a 2nd -3rd tier ( whatever that's worth?)
The 1st tier is a big company payment terms are good boiler steps air pretty good money however BBU conversions not o good and the other down fall I have to get my own work and thy want me to build up to a minimum of 10 pe week. The other firm provide the leads and do the assessments before i go out and do the survey, the draw back is payment terms aren't so good 45 days from install and I'm supplying everything!! I'm liking th 1st company lot more. But need to get the leads and pay or the assessment to be done, long term I intend to do the GDA course myself but it takes a fair investment both time and money.
hows everybody else getting on with the ECO deal ?

Who did you do your certification with? What was the assessment like?
The provider with the 10 leads at a time sounds familiar.
Would it be possible for you to email or pm the details on these providers and the rates?

I'm hopefully going to get my QMS finished next week and then up for assessment, but I won't pay for the assessment until I'm sure that there is money from a provider available for the jobs.

Tommydiehard are you willing to run a debt up of 45 boiler installs before being paid a penny?

Thats dangerous

If you go to the link for the website, it says:
[h=3]How do I become an accredited installer?[/h]Glow-worm are using the Green Deal Consortia to co-ordinate installations by Club Energy Installers. Green Deal Consortia will undertake the free survey and ensure your customers eligibility so there is no risk to yourself - you simply have to turn up and install the new Flexicom boiler once the work has been approved.

All ECO work is part of the Green Deal and therefore requires the PAS 2030 qualification. As a member of Club ECO you will be able to install ECO jobs whilst working towards your PAS 2030 qualification. To make getting PAS 2030 as easy as possible we have teamed up with Easy Green Deal. When you have signed up to Club ECO you will be sent details on how to book for Easy Green Deal PAS 2030 support.

Bugger i aint read anything else other than the email. Still will have a read later.

 

[Scott_D]

I went on to sign up, then spotted that.
I would imagine you can install them but they pay you till your PAS2030
I wonder how much it costs?

 

[julesverne]

i went through the sign up process and gave up what a pain in the aristotle they want this and they want that.

 

[Ray Stafford]

I'm talking to Glowworm about this at the moment - if anyone has any questions they want asking, or feedback that they want to get directly to the management at Glowworm, just let me know.

yeah the sign up process just isn't geared upto one man bands and anybody who isn't registered. it's also asking for asking for health and safety policies and other documents.
