An intro to the Green Deal Loan and the ECO grants

Like me, you have probably been cold called recently by companies offering you "free" stuff under the Green Deal.

Being quite well up on the ins and outs of the Green Deal, I do like to ask a few questions for my own entertainment and suss out whether the company concerned is prepared to be honest and give good info about the Green Deal, or whether they are being deliberately misleading.

Here's a very basic summary that includes some useful info about the Green Deal and the ECO. The key point to note - the Green Deal is a loan (and not a particularly cheap one), and the ECO is a grant.

Or if you have a warped sense of humour and would like an alternative overview (but perhaps not quite as useful), here's a little parody on uTube. (Warning - contains some strong language and may cause offence.)
