| Overhaul: Homeowners can benefit from modcons such as under-floor heating and efficient boilers. |
The money can be used to install energy-saving measures such as roof insulation, double glazing and cavity walls.But homeowners will also be able to benefit from desirable modcons such as under-floor heating and new efficient boilers. They could also get public cash to install water-efficient taps and showers, light fittings and draught proofing.
The Government says 14million homes will benefit. Homeowners will qualify if their houses can be made more energy efficient and energy costs can be cut, though not all will qualify for the full £10,000.
