Welcome to see the likes of Which? Nationwide Building Society Citizens Advice and Energy UK pushing for consumer protection for green upgrades to homes. Over the next 25 years, we're going to upgrade the building fabric and heating systems of more than 25 million homes in the UK (and a few million non-domestic properties as well). We'll see millions of homes switch to electric heating. That's a lot of physical changes in homes with a significant risk for poor quality installations and inappropriate advice. People need confidence that companies installing measures such as insulation, heating appliances and solar panels are qualified and regulated. The PAS2030 and PAS2035 frameworks, which are currently limited in practice to government-funded retrofit schemes, could be a good starting point.

A more robust protections framework can help to stamp out rogue traders, deliver consumer benefits and help unlock more private finance to upgrade homes by giving lenders confidence. ⤵
