I nor anyone else works for free or fit free stuff. Eaga do very well out of this with install costs rivalling BG. The money is paid out by the taxpayer, whether through Europe or not, we the taxpayer are paying for it.
It is supposed to be open to anyone to compete to get these grants for the end user but in reality things are so well sown up by the gov, eaga, ideal partnership it is just about impossible for the ordinary contractor to gain any of this work.
As said, it is a monopoly.
The taxpayer is being well overcharged and the end user given a bad product with substandard work and materials (although the logic (boiler) seems a bit better) Work that could be better done at a lower cost by small local contractors.
It is all wrong but will never change.
