UPDATE April 2022: The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) has now ended. If you are in England or Wales and live in an eligible property, you might be able to take advantage of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), but for those of us not living in those areas, we hope there will be a replacement scheme announced by Government at some point. We’ll provide an update on this website whenever an update is available.
The Home Energy Scotland Loan has been introduced, so you can apply for that now if you want.
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) will pay owners of heat pumps installed since July 15th 2009 significant amounts for the renewable heat generated by their renewable energy heating systems, subject to meeting the relevant eligibility criteria. For a full list of eligibilty criteria you can contact the Energy Saving Trust.
Payments are index-linked, tax-free and guaranteed for 7 years.
The level of payments you can receive will depend on the amount of heat deemed to be required for your property and which is generated by your heat pump. This is an important factor in considering your overall costs, so you need to understand exactly how much you will be entitled to under the scheme.
An indication of the payments you could potentially receive from the scheme are shown in the tables below. Please do your own research and get professional advice before taking a decision on installing any heat pump system because the figures on this website are for illustrative purposes only and might not reflect the most up to date position.
