The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme is the primary source of government provided funding relating to the installation of heat pump systems. The Scheme is very accessible and worthwhile pursuing. There are criteria to be met in order to have access to the RHI Scheme, but we will explain everything to you – we have helped thousands of our Clients gain access to payments from the RHI Scheme.
Payments from the RHI Scheme are available through a domestic scheme for householders and the non-domestic scheme for businesses and Landlords. Payments from the RHI Scheme are based upon the amount of “renewable heat” generated by a system, with payments being made quarterly for 7 years under the domestic scheme and 20 years for the non-domestic scheme. For the domestic RHI Scheme there is a maximum limit of support that is 20,000kW/hrs a year (slightly more than £2,000 a year based upon the current tariff).
We assist our Clients in accessing the RHI Scheme as well as ensuring that the systems that we design and supply are eligible under the Scheme.
The RHI Scheme is designed to pay back the difference in cost between a fossil fuel (boiler) system and an air source heat pump system PLUS a return for investing the capital up front.
