News - Yorkshire Heat Pumps

Following a few months of uncertainty as we waited to see how the new Labour government were going to support small-scale renewables, they have demonstrated their commitment this week to decarbonising heat in the UK. Good news for homeowners and installers alike!

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.

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

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?

The Yorkshire Post has been investigating the green appeal of ground and air source heating systems and featured one of our installations in their recent article.

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.

First Brexit slowed down the passage of scheme reforms through Parliament, now the snap General Election is pushing back the implementation of substantive changes to the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme. Does this present a window of opportunity?
