this is available through hundreds of companies across the uk for anyone on certain benefits and also low incomes.warmfront is another company but there are litterally hundreds.if you get housing benfit you qualify.if you rent off a private landlord its possible to have central heating installed or upgraded and even have an open fire replaced with a gas or electric fire and all for free and no cost to landlord.

I was looking for a way to ease the pain of getting rid of those pesky contractors.....

I think this has stemmed from the government pulling BG up on their incredible profit margin. They say BG were to repay some of the 'less well off' members off society (obviously through schemes like this?) else face action.

Why not just bloody drop the prices to a sensible price for all customers.

Lets stick to the point guys, not get personal and keep your opinions to yourself. Thanks.

I think this is a great opportunity for people like pensioners and single mums claiming benefits to apply for and hope you are successful.

it's an emotive issue, and i think that perhaps a balanced debate should have been allowed to rage on, or moved to misc. at least....

To clarify, not only the unemployed are entitled to this scheme, anyone on Low income and claims Family Tax Credit is enttled as well. Further, people on DLA (disability Living Allowance, anyone over 60 years of age and on Pension Credit are also entitled. There are many more benefits which entitle the receipient to this service. BG does take the credit but does not pay for these improvements, they are all paid for by the Government. The scheme is called Warmfront and there are hundreds of companies offering this service nationwide and most of them have Freephone numbers - note that BG uses a chargeable telephone number, which is so typical money grabbing (this is why I vote cold). It is in my opinion the best scheme the Labour Party under Tony has come up with, which actually benefits the people of this country directly.

This is to do with the Governments CERT (Carbon Emmissions Reduction Target) scheme, previously EEC 3. All energy companies are assessed on their efforts on reducing energy consumption as part of the whole 'global warming' debate. Basically, if they dont reach their targets they will be fined a percentage of their TURNOVER not PROFIT, as a result they subsidise these installations and offer free low energy bulbs etc (mainly to low income as they as seen to be the ones who would most likely not have done their own) which costs them MILLIONS but compared to say a fine of 3% of their turnover, SAVES them billions!!! It would be nice to think that they are doing it for the good of mankind out of the goodness of their hearts but at the end of the day its all about the shareholders (do you think they would allow such a 'waste' of their profit share otherwise????

Hope that helps, remember, EVERYONE can benefit in some way albeit more so if you are on benefits. When we had our loft insulation done they did (not sure if they still do) charge you the more you actually had in place!! i.e. if you had say 6" currently they charged you, whereas if you strip it all out they discount/ do for free?!?!?!? bit back to front but thats the way it works, you may want to bear that in mind before calling them out?? ;0)

I hate these hand outs. I never get anything and I'm not exactly rolling in it. Makes me wonder why I bother.
