With the drive to Net Zero, the government has been experimenting with initiatives to encourage uptake of energy saving measures and renewables over the past few years with mixed success, but is the current offer of a £7,500 grant going to be enough?

With the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme closing at the end of March and with its successor, the Green Homes Grant Scheme, having been an abject disaster, there's now a new scheme on the horizon.

Over the summer, more information emerged about the successor to domestic RHI - The Green Homes Grant Scheme. While we await full details about how the scheme will work for installers and homeowners alike, let's take a look at what we do know so far.

Financial incentives to encourage homeowners to switch to renewables are going to be changing, and sadly not for the better. So it's decision time if you want to benefit from the generous financial support currently available.

The government has this week breathed fresh life into the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme and demonstrated its ongoing commitment to low carbon heating technologies. That’s good news for us as installers and great news for anyone considering renewable energy heating for their home or business.

With just over a year until the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme closes to new applicants, time is running out for homeowners who wish to benefit from the generous government incentives currently being paid for moving to 'green', energy-efficient heating technologies.

Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme tariffs rise annually in line with the Consumer Price Index. We bring you the updated tariffs and highlight some important timing considerations if you're looking to switch to renewables.

The latest round of reforms to the government’s domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme successfully passed through Parliament in February and came into effect this week. So what do these reforms mean for Yorkshire Heat Pumps as an installer and for you if you’re thinking of switching to a renewable energy heating system for your home?

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.

Following the Queen's Speech this week, the implications of the new parliamentary agenda on the RHI scheme reforms remain unclear. At Yorkshire Heat Pumps, we're desperate to know what's going on!
