RHI Grants in Woodbridge & Suffolk
Renewable Heat Incentive Grants
The UK government set an ambitious target of having 12% of the country’s heating demand fuelled by renewable sources. As part of this commitment, Renewable Heat Incentive Grants are available for domestic and non-domestic properties. It has been put in place to encourage and support homeowners and business owners to switch to renewable heating. Through this scheme, you could receive a cash payment every quarter if you have an approved system installed. In some cases, these payments continue for seven years.
If you use renewable energy to heat your home, you could apply for the grant. There are some criteria that must be met to be eligible. All of the criteria are available on the government website, and it’s worth checking to make sure you comply with every requirement. First of all the technologies used must be on the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and have a certificate issued. Technologies that are included are biomass boilers, air-source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and solar panels.
