Renewable Energy

One great government scheme that was introduced to support households that install renewable heating systems is the Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI) scheme.

What is the RHI scheme?

One great government scheme that was introduced to support households that install renewable heating systems is the Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI) scheme. This covers houses that use heat pumps and wood boilers for their heating and means that if you are eligible for the grant you could benefit from quarterly payments made in return for making smart, green energy choices in your home. The payments are made for several years and are scaled depending on how much energy your systems produce. The domestic RHI scheme is for those with a renewable heating system for one home only, and it supports five renewable technologies; namely wood boilers, ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps, solar water heating and wood pellet stoves that utilise a back boiler.

There are some restrictions and rules that need to be followed in order to benefit from the RHI scheme.

How To Qualify?

In order to apply for the RHI scheme you will first need to have a renewable heating system installed in your home that meets all of the requirements set out by the government. You can check this with your installer to make sure that these requirements are met, and then you can apply easily online.

In terms of payments, the RHI scheme pays you a certain amount of money for every unit of renewable energy that you generate from your system. These payments will be made quarterly for 7 years starting from the date that your application is accepted.

What our customers say

had boiler replaced two weeks ago , everything went smoothly as I have been expecting, engineers came on site spot on time everything boiler is working good , place left tidy , i am impressed with Company Warma , definitely would give 5 star

Don’t often do reviews but felt this warranted one. A little slow getting the fitting date sorted out but once this had been sorted everything was plain sailing from start to finish. Can’t fault the engineer who fitted my combi boiler. Nothing was to much trouble to him, explained everything has he went along. Would recommend without hesitation.

The old boiler and tank were removed and the new condensing boiler fitted by the two installers from XL Heating. They were friendly, informative and tidy, working well as a team for two days. So far very happy.
