Yorkshire Heat Pumps takes a look at the current status of the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme and considers what the future might hold for us and our customers

There was a healthy 11% increase in numbers attending the Northern Homebuilding & Renovating Show at the beginning of the month, and we certainly saw increased numbers visiting us on the Yorkshire Heat Pumps stand. Some were just beginning their self-build or renovation journey and others with approved plans in hand, were eager to get started. Since then it's been all go in the office getting out guide costs and quotations which suggests it's going to be a busy year ahead for renewables companies like ours.

This week renewable energy electricity generation in the UK hit an all time high, while in the first five months of the year the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme experienced a power surge of its own - with a rush of applications ahead of imminent scheme reforms.

Amid all the uncertainty caused by the referendum result, the change of leadership and governmental department changes, there are two really good reasons for considering a switch to renewables right now.

There are winners and losers, but probably no surprises as DECC make announcements this week about RHI tariff changes coming into effect on January 1st 2016.

Yorkshire Heat Pumps has been in the online press again this week commenting on the story so far as domestic RHI celebrates its first birthday.

This month we are celebrating the first birthday of the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, but has it been a Happy Birthday? Here at Yorkshire Heat Pumps we certainly think so.

Michael Wright has been in the press again this week, talking to The Yorkshire Times about the incorporation of renewable heating technologies in barn refurbishments, and why this is the perfect time to consider renewables for your home.

In their latest weekly data update, Ofgem has indicated that domestic RHI approvals have passed the 1000 mark, while air source continues to top the table.

The Department of Energy & Climate Change has announced figures at the end of the first month of domestic RHI, indicating a steady flow of applications and air source as the lead technology to date.
