After a long delay the RHI has arrived for domestic users. I wasted no time in getting the necessary Green Deal Assessment and started my application as soon as the scheme was available. After a bit of teething troubles with the website my application was accepted. The application process was done quickly online and any issues were quickly and efficiently dealt with. It was approved within a matter of days. When you make your application you can track the progress online easily and once approved it gives the schedule of payments due for the duration the scheme.
In essence it will pay back the grant and loan I received for the installation. It will also go a long way to covering heating costs for the next seven years. After years paying over the odds for LPG it will redress the balance a bit.
I have been advised that I have to have an audit carried out on the system. It seems to be a case of checking that I actually have an accredited boiler and that I paid for it, get it maintained and put fuel in it. Watch this space.
