Set to launch on 1 March, the firm will pay financial and mortgage advisers a £500 fee for each solar power referral and £10 for an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) referral ahead of the Green Deal which launches in Autumn 2012.
Spearheaded by the Minister for Energy and Climate Change, Chris Huhne, the Green Deal offers energy bill payers the opportunity to make carbon emission saving changes to buildings without paying upfront costs.
Instead, bill payers will repay the subsidised costs through every monthly energy bill. The government’s ‘golden rule’ is that the “expected financial savings must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill.”
John Colderley, managing director of 4agreenhouse.com, said: “In the UK, on average, 150,000 EPC s are completed each month and the Green Deal will eventually apply to 14m homes.”
4agreenhouse.com appoints one introducer in each postcode area to buy the referrals, which will also generate mortgage leads for the buyers, said Colderley.
“We are advertising with Google and within six months plan to be on the front page directing traffic to financial advisers in our directory. Our site will recommend they talk to a quality financial adviser, local to their area,” said Colderley.
“The government has committed £20bn to carbon reduction and with feed-in, or green energy pay back tariffs at their highest over the next 24 months, there’s no better time for consumers to invest.”
