News - Yorkshire Heat Pumps

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.

This is the first in a series of updates we will post in response to questions asked by our customers or prospects visiting our showroom.

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.

Yorkshire Heat Pumps has been in the press again this week talking about the quarterly rush to complete installations to beat RHI tariff degression.

This week Ofgem has announced the domestic RHI tariffs which will come into effect on April 1st 2015. There are winners and losers, with inflationary RPI increases for some and the degression 'super trigger' reached for biomass which sees its tariff tumble.

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

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.

It's looking increasingly likely that the domestic air source heat pump market will hit its RHI tariff degression trigger in year one of operation. What will that mean for consumers?

DECC has announced this week that it will be extending the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme to cover air-to-water heat pumps. That's music to the ears of satisfied Yorkshire Heat Pumps customers and prospects alike.
