"Got in touch with Mark late in the day to help with an essential job the next morning. He had two crew over to do the job for 11:30am the next day. Couldn't recommend these guys enough. A+++"

"I recently had a changeover switch installed for my backup generator, and I couldn't be more pleased. Mark was fantastic to deal with - professional, knowledgeable, and upfront with a very competitive quote. Conor's workmanship was top-notch."
Which welfare payments qualify for the enhanced solar grant?

Who has to receive the welfare payment?
In most cases the homeowner must receive the qualifying payment. The exception is Carer's Allowance, where the carer must live full-time in the home.
How is the grant worked out?
