Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)
The domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) was launched in April 2014 to encourage UK homeowners to switch to renewable heat technologies.
The government scheme is for households on and off the grid. Households off the grid have the most potential to save on fuel bills and reduce their carbon emissions. The purpose of RHI is to compensate households that use renewable energy. It provides attractive financial incentives.
By installing renewable heating solutions, households can significantly reduce their utility bills and add value to the property for the future. Thanks to the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive, UK homeowners can also receive quarterly payments over 7 years following installation.
The RHI scheme will support Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), Biomass Boiler Systems, and Solar Thermal Panels. Tariffs are payable on the amount of renewable heat generated and the rates vary depending on the technology installed.
