Good morning, gentlemen. voice-verified

Thank you so much for bringing your expertise to studio. voice-verified

Can we jump straight in with listener questions? voice-verified

Karen asks, I'm sale agreed on a house which has a BER of E. Ooh, that sounds chilly. voice-verified

It has single glazed windows, poor attic insulation and loads of open fireplaces. voice-verified

I've had two companies out to have a look at possible upgrades and grants, etc. voice-verified

I've been told that I will only be eligible for the windows and attic insulation grant ever. voice-verified

if I get the external or internal insulation wrap done too. voice-verified

Both companies have quoted approximately 22k for these upgrades after the grants have been applied. voice-verified

And buying this house on my own repayments would be too much. voice-verified

She goes on to detail how she does like a little bit of warmth. voice-verified

But ultimately, her question here is, why can't I get the window and attic insulation grant on their own? voice-verified

Why do I need to do the wraparound insulation? voice-verified

Who wants to take that? voice-verified

But basically, going for the windows, doing the double glazing, wouldn't budge her much above that current BER of E? voice-verified

Next question. voice-verified

John says, my elderly neighbour is interested in upgrading his house. voice-verified
