Households lack trust in original installers for defect repairs, despite Departmental competency assurances.
Conclusion
Written evidence submitted to us by the Green Homes Group highlighted how some people are unlikely to trust the original installer to fix the issues they created.42 The Department said it is providing assurance to households by ensuring the installer is appropriately certified as competent to do the work, and by checking that the repairs had been done correctly.43
