News - Yorkshire Heat Pumps

As part of Stray FM's Love Local week, Michael Wright has been on the radio talking about all things renewable.

Yorkshire Heat Pumps reports a successful first year of trading and a busy few months ahead.

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.

On 28th May the Department for Energy & Climate Change (DECC) announced some important changes to the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme, with the inclusion of air-to-water heat pumps and a big boost to the RHI tariff for ground source heat pumps.

We're encouraged to see that Which? have applied their usual rigour to their introduction to renewables and the Renewable Heat Incentive that's been published this week.

If I have to have a Green Deal Assessment (GDA) to get my domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (dRHI) deemed, why do I need to commission full Heat Loss Calculations (HLC)?

There's no keeping Mike off a bike. Even if he's away on business, he'll still search out two wheels. Any longer than two days away from cycling and he suffers chronic withdrawal symptoms.

Michael is in Sweden this week for a trip to NIBE's headquarters and factory in Markaryd, to see where it all happens. He's being treated to an insiders' view of where some of the world's best heat pumps are manufactured.
