The UK’s Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM) is set to accelerate heat pump adoption by requiring boiler manufacturers to meet sales targets. Learn what this means for installers and how Alto Energy can help you capitalise on this opportunity.
The ECO4 market has had its ups and downs, but installation volumes are starting to recover. If you're an installer, now is the time to explore available grants and funding. Many ECO4 schemes require MCS certification, but if you prefer not to go through the process yourself, you can subcontract to us. We offer MCS-compliant design, supply, and installation support, making it easier for you to get started.
Homeowners can now benefit from an upfront £7,500 BUS grant deduction for heat pump installations through trusted Alto Assured partners, making the switch easier and more affordable.
Join us from March 20th - 23rd at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham! We'll be showcasing leading air source heat pump solutions from Bosch, Mitsubishi, and Samsung at stand J125 (Hall 9).
Yesterday Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a raft of policy changes regarding the UK’s approach to achieving net zero. The majority of the announcement related to pushing back the timeframes for bans on fossil fuel vehicles and boilers. However, the Prime Minister also announced a very welcome boost to the heat pump sector, with the news that the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant will be increasing to £7,500 for all technologies.
In an exciting day for the heat pump industry, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is now open and accepting new grant applications. As an MCS certified contractor, as well as part of our Alto Assured Installer Scheme, Alto Energy is registered with Ofgem to administer BUS grant applications for our customers.
The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (“RHI”) scheme is closing to new applicants on 31st March 2022. Whilst we are still awaiting the confirmation of the final details from the Government about the closure of the scheme, we already have a good understanding of the plan from the Government’s consultation document earlier in the year, as well as a number of Ofgem workshops we have attended over the past few months.
The Government have today published their consultation response for the Future Support for Low Carbon Heat: Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This scheme will be the successor to the current domestic renewable heat incentive scheme, and will provide customers with an upfront grant to reduce the capital cost of installing a heat pump system.
