The deadline for Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) voucher scheme is approaching on March 31st, 2014. The scheme aims to help households without access to Main Gas grid with the cost of renewable heating installations such as heat pumps, biomass boilers and solar thermal. This funding is a great opportunity to replace the old inefficient heating systems with renewable heating technologies, and cut the energy bills and carbon emissions.
RHPP, run by the UK government, offers vouchers to householders across England, Scotland and Wales. The amount received as a part of RHPP depends on the technology installed.
If you qualify, you will get:
- £1,300 off an air-to-water heat pump system,
- £2,000 off a biomass boiler system,
- £2,300 off a ground source or water source heat pump system.
Additionally, a grant of £600 is offered towards the cost of solar thermal systems for all households including on-grid properties. These vouchers must be redeemed in 3 months or by 31st of March, whichever is sooner.
Full eligibility criteria are as follows,
- You live in England, Scotland or Wales.
- For heat pump and biomass boiler grants, the new system must be the property’s main source of heating. This is not required for solar thermal grants.
- The property is owned by you or you have permission from the house owner to install the new system.
- The product and installer must be certified under Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) or Solar Keymark.
- The property already has basic energy efficiency measures installed where possible – such as loft insulation up to 250 mm and cavity wall insulation
- You have all the necessary planning and environmental permissions as appropriate.
- You must have had a Green Deal assessment before submitting a claim for the payment of your voucher.
