You're a bit wide of the mark. The amount payable towards the cost of replacing windows will only be a fraction of that amount.

The 30k is a "blanket" grant covering a wide assortment of improvements.

Could it be a case of the rep trying to scaremonger you into going with his product?Could you find out about this problem/fault from looking at other samples?I have windows from Doyles and I wouldn't have a clue what to look for or even what this problem is.
My parents put in Stanley Cara stove a few months back and are very impressed with it and the heat output is very good(just heating the room no rads off it) for the tiny amount of fuel (turf) they use.they reckon they are using around half the amount compared to the open fire.

Try munster joinery for the windows and door.
