Are ASHP included on RHI scheme?

[wiffola]

I just cant seem to get a clear answer on this...

I understand there is a RHI Premium Payment for ASHP of £850 until March.

What is the current situation with ASHP being included on the RHI scheme (similar to FIT for PV solar).

Are they included? If not, when's the announcment and likely rate?

Thanks guys

My understanding is that air source heat pumps are not included.

Madness of government policy. Who the idiots are that
decide this I do not know.

As far as I am aware ASHP are NOT included in RHI
due to their questionable efficiency in low ambient temperatures

100% correct, they don't qualify for RHI or FIT. Most of these Greenwash products will be kicked into touch, just wait & see. It's amazing how some people on here are still considering fitting ASHP, they must love getting huge Winter leccy bills??!!!

The 'Bankers', should start with a 'W', bought £Trillions of Toxic Debt, now you, I, our kids, grand kids & great grand kids will have to cover their losses - we pay chums, we pay!! Now, some of these Bankers are still getting large payouts, every year or a nice fat pension. while we pay large taxes, there's no work & rising unemployment. We're in the smelly stuff right up too our necks chums!! Enjoy the ride!!
