Posted: Wednesday May 26, 2021 | Category: News More infoWhere does the money for the grants come from?
All energy suppliers have schemes providing grants for home insulation – available to all home owners or private tenants, irrespective of status.
Grant provision can depend on the type of property you own and the fuel you use for heating but to confuse matters, the picture is constantly changing.
If it seems complicated, it is – but leave it to our surveyors to find the best solution for you. Our teams of installers and surveyors, located throughout the whole of the UK, have access to the many schemes currently running, one of which should be in operation in your area.
To make life as simple as possible for you, our surveyors will complete all paperwork and claim the grant on your behalf. You only pay your own contribution, if any is payable.
Please be assured, these are genuine grants and not simply a so called “half-price” marketing ploy and you do NOT need to pay a grant back at some later stage.

Generally no although for biomass heating systems and air / ground source heat pumps there are two situations that will require the systems to be metered:
1/ If a renewable heat system is installed alongside an existing non-renewable system.
2/ For systems installed in second homes.
A “Metering & Monitoring” package is available at a cost of between £200 & £230 per annum. This enables users to monitor the performance of the system.
The following system technologies are included in the DRHI scheme:
The rates are designed to take into consideration the following factors:
Yes. A tariff degression scheme will operate to manage the RHI budget, similar to the one employed by the Feed in Tariffs. The number of installations is checked quarterly and when certain trigger points are reached, the tariffs will be lowered in phases. Lowered tariffs will only be applicable to systems installed after that date. In short, the earlier you install a system the more you’re likely to benefit.
The RHI tariffs are paid per kWh of renewable heat generated. The amount of heat generated from your installation estimated based on the expected annual heat used by the property (deemed).
Generally the deemed rate of heat per annum is multiplied by the RHI tariff rate to calculate the annual payment. This is taken over a twenty year period to cover the life expectancy of the system and paid over a seven year period.
The Domestic RHI tariffs are paid over 7 years, although they are calculated to cover a 20 year life expectancy of the system. Payments are made quarterly in arrears by Ofgem. The payments will rise every year according to the retail price index (RPI) which come into effect on April 1st each year.
You could be eligible to obtain a portion of the funding through the Green Deal which allows you to offset the cost against future savings on your energy bills,
Ofgem need to be informed so that RHI payments can be transferred to the new owner.
Your first point of contact should be with the MCS accredited installer of the system/s. If the problem is not resolve you should visit the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (recc.org.uk) site and make a complaint.
DECC expects the domestic RHI scheme run until March 2021 but as with many policies this may be subject to change.
Yes. ECO grant measures require a survey. There is no charge for the survey and they usually only take about 30 minutes.
Depending on the circumstances you should be eligible.
