RENEWABLE HEAT INCENTIVE
One of the big appeals of a renewables system, aside from reducing environmental impact and potential savings on fuel bills, is that the installation cost can be offset by applying for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme.
WHAT IS THE RENEWABLES HEAT INCENTIVE (RHI)?
The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive helps eligible households to offset the cost of their renewable installation. The scheme offers quarterly payments to homeowners over a seven year period, based on estimates of the property’s annual heating consumption.

RENEWABLE HEAT INCENTIVE ELIGIBILITY
In order to be eligible for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, the property and renewable system must meet certain criteria.
​
-
The product itself, whether a heat pump or a solar thermal system, must be approved under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
-
The installation of the system must also adhere to strict MCS guidelines.
This ensures that the renewable system is installed to a high standard and operates efficiently.
