Heat from the ground

Even though I know the theory it still seems amazing that the hot water in our baths and heating comes solely from our ground source heat pump and the 900 metres of pipe buried in the big field. This week we applied for the grant funding that is available through the Renewable Heat Incentive.


Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is the world’s first long-term financial support programme for renewable heat.

The RHI pays participants of the scheme that generate and use renewable energy to heat their buildings. By increasing the generation of heat from renewable energy sources (instead of fossil fuels), the RHI helps the UK reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet targets for reducing the effects of climate change.

Domestic RHI – launched 9 April 2014 and open to homeowners, private landlords, social landlords and self-builders

The RHI is the main scheme of our heat strategy.
