With the launch of the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive imminent, the DECC will be attending a variety of exhibitions over the next three months. Attendees will learn about the domestic RHI scheme and how the domestic RHI and the Green Deal will work together.

The domestic RHI aims to provide long term financial support for property owners who install renewable heating systems and is due to be launched by this Easter. The scheme marks a milestone in energy efficiency as it will be the first time every building in the country will be able to take advantage of financial incentives to install renewable heat technologies.

Property owners will receive quarterly payments for seven years to help cover the cost of installing a renewable heating system. Eligible technologies include air source heat pumps, biomass boilers, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal systems.

At events over hte next few weeks, attendees will not only be able to learn about the domestic RHI scheme, but they will also be able to find out how the domestic RHI and the Green Deal will work together to ensure that all participants benefit from having a smarter, warmer home.
