The RHI is a government scheme to support renewable heating systems like heat pumps and wood boilers.
If you install a system that meets all the scheme requirements, you can be paid for every unit of renewable heat you produce for a number of years.

There are lots of rules about what you can and can’t fit for each technology. You can find all the information you need below.
You will have to use a Microgeneration Certification Scheme installer to fit the system, and they should be able to advise on all the other requirements.
The domestic RHI pays an amount (the tariff) for every unit of renewable heat you are considered to generate, for the first seven years from the date you apply.
The tariffs are published on the Ofgem site. The amount you generate is usually worked out from the energy requirements of your home, though sometimes it is measured directly by a heat meter.
