FAQ Guide
Warm Front and trading measures
• eaga has trading agreements with all of the 6 main utilities including a sole agreement to deliver the entire CERT obligation for Scottish Power.
• Warm Front 1 (June 2000- May 2005)Although trading did take place, CERT trading went back into WF funding and did affect the clients account
• Warm Front 2 (June 2005 to date)We now can trade all CERT fundable measures and do NOT reduce the clients account or come out of the £2700 or £4000 clients account
CERT trading
Warm Front- private rented sector
• Heating repairs.
Heating repairs are not covered for private tenants unless we have evidence by way of mandated tenancy agreement showing that the tenant owns or has responsibility for maintenance of the heating. Otherwise heating repairs are a landlords responsibility.
• New heating systems where no heating or no heating system (ie less than 3 ESH’s in 3 living areas exc bedrooms) we can offer heating to private tenants
Warm Front- What to expect guideClient Literature
• Client literature received for every applicant• 1) Initial letter registering them on the scheme.• 2) Customer promise letter• 3) What to expect guide ( at assessor visit)• 4) After care guide (by post following installation for
gas heating repairs/replacments and new systems)
