Just posting to see what comes up..

Have discovered from OFGEM that our proposed heat pump installation would not attact the £7.5k grant as it would be replacing a pellet boiler that received the RHI..

Any thoughts?]]> refusal of heat pump grant https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18182&Focus=306636#Comment_306636 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18182&Focus=306636#Comment_306636 Thu, 29 Aug 2024 16:45:00 +0100 owlman My problem was I didn't want a typical monobloc HP but a split one with the heat exchanger next to my existing fully functional biomass accumulator and plate heat exchanger set up. With only a refrigerant pipe connecting the two it seemed simple to me, but I think the idea muddied the water too much.
They would have rather I ripped the lot out and replace it so I gave up. It would have also required an "F" gas fitter, not a problem in my case but a bit difficult for them to comprehend.]]> refusal of heat pump grant https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18182&Focus=306637#Comment_306637 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18182&Focus=306637#Comment_306637 Thu, 29 Aug 2024 17:06:29 +0100 djh refusal of heat pump grant https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18182&Focus=306682#Comment_306682 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18182&Focus=306682#Comment_306682 Tue, 03 Sep 2024 19:52:32 +0100 Jeff B Posted By: finnyHi All..

Yes, this is the rule. I checked this out when I was thinking doing the same as you. In the end I got rid of the pellet boiler anyway and reverted to oil (ASHP not suitable for our place). Yes I know....:shamed:]]>
