The Scottish Executive's Central Heating Programme and the Warm Deal Annual Report 2003-04: BENEFITS FROM HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY SCHEMES IN SCOTLAND 2003-04: A REPORT BY THE SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE
The relative benefits of the Central Heating Programme and the Warm Deal
The Central Heating Programme provides for both a central heating system and insulation to be installed in a property for an average cost of £2,796 per property, whereas only insulation measures are installed under the Warm Deal. These measures are exactly the same as under the Central Heating Programme. Furthermore, if a property is improved under the Warm Deal this does not exclude it from benefiting from further improvements under the Central Heating Programme, if there is no central heating system and the householder is over 60. Whether a property receives insulation improvements under the Warm Deal and then a central heating system at a later date or has insulation and central heating installed at the same time will make no difference to the overall improvement in the energy-efficiency rating. 14
