What is the Renewable Heat Incentive?

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a government scheme designed to encourage people in the UK to use renewable energy for heating instead of gas and oil.

Under the scheme, members get a financial payment every three months for seven years. These payments can help to offset the cost of installing a renewable energy system.

In addition to the money you receive from the RHI for the heat you generate, you’ll also save money on your heating bills.

The rules of the RHI scheme are set by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) (formerly DECC). Ofgem administers the scheme.

There are two RHI schemes, one for businesses and one for homeowners. Each scheme is different, and you can only join one – not both.

If you’re not sure which RHI scheme is right for you, see Ofgem’s factsheet about Domestic and Non-Domestic RHI (PDF).

RHI scheme eligibility

To be eligible for the RHI scheme, your heat must come from one of the following technologies:

The amount of money you could receive from the RHI scheme is based on an estimate of how much energy your system is likely to generate.

To join the RHI scheme, you must have the following:

  1. Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certificate for your installation
  2. Recent EPC certificate for your property

Princes LHS Ltd is an MCS accredited installer, which means we will design, install and commission your renewable heating system in accordance with the MCS standards.

After installation, we’ll issue your MCS certificate so you can join the RHI scheme.

  • Princes LHS were brilliant from start to finish. When I contacted them I had received a quote from a rival company that did not appear quite right and really wasn't thought through properly. Princes LHS were the opposite of that. From initial discussions to the fitting process itself (solar PV and a Powerwall 2) everything was done very well and ahead of the agreed schedule. We're now happily producing meaningful power even in the depths of winter & the Powerwall means that we get to use all of it.

  • Really happy with Princes LHS Ltd for fitting our new heating system. Efficient, hard working and very professional at all times. Particular thanks to Jack for heading up the team on site.

  • When Matt came round to discuss solar panels, he really listened to what I was saying, as I wanted a system whereby I could store the solar energy gathered during the day, and then use it when I came home. Whereas other companies told me this was impossible and wanted to sell me geothermal or other technologies, Princes LHS Ltd suggested a battery system, such as those used off-grid. A novel solution.

    I totally recommend them for solar technology

  • We at Grove School had been looking at ways of reducing our energy bills and upon speaking to Simon Lewis at Princes LHS Ltd in Ellesmere, he suggested carrying out a specialised lighting survey to reduce the overall wattage of our existing lighting installation by installing a more efficient type of light fitting with a lower overall wattage.

  • I just wanted to say a very big thanks to the two lovely lads Ryan and Jack who came out yesterday to fit our new bolier. They were very courteous and worked nonstop to ensure that the boiler was up and running for us.

    We have used Princes LHS Ltd in the past for our alarm system and electrics and have always been satisfied. Ryan and Jack are a credit to your company. their professionalism and politeness was very refreshing.
