But when it comes to retrofit, that is not the case.

a long time ago.

The start of this is not last year or the year before.

And they've slowly kind of worked their way up to the point now where you're getting twelve and a half grand for a heat pump.

You're getting like if you if you put uh uh insulation in your attic or into your cavity walls, you're getting eighty percent of the grant.

Like sorry, eighty percent of the value of the work done in the grant.

Like that's phenomenal.

You know, and and the same even like twelve and a half grand for a heat pump, you're probably talking another

five to six grand and you've got the works done.

Yes.

Yes, it's an investment and I there's no doubt about it, you have to pay for the the the works up front and then you get the grant back.

Yeah, I understand that.

But look at at the same time, if you're making an investment in your home and the government like I d I don't know when the last time the government gave you twelve and a half grand, 'cause I could tell you one thing, I before that this grant I'd never been given money by the yeah, I'd never been given money by the by the government.

So this is a motivation.

And I suppose you've another thing you've got to consider is if they're motivating us now going forward, is there so the carrot is there at the moment with the grants, is there going to be a stick coming down?

on the line later with taxes maybe because the the the uh the the targets that have been set

And targets that we've agreed to in the EU are huge.
