Renewable Heat Incentive Scotland is a Government scheme which offers financial rewards to encourage home owners and landlords to switch to renewable energy heating systems instead of ones which use fossil fuel.
If you participate in the Renewable Heat Incentive Scotland scheme and install a renewable heating system such as an air source heat pump, biomass boiler, ground source heat pump or solar thermal water heating system, Renewable Heat Incentive Scotland tariff payments will be paid to you quarterly for 7 years.
Renewable Heat Incentive payments are generally based on the ‘deemed heat demand’ for your home which can be found on your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
In addition to receiving Renewable Heat Incentive tariff payments, you will reduce your energy bills and cut carbon emissions from your home.
