Commencing on an ASHP Installation Process
Posted by: @jamespaMy wife's nephew has installed a smart shower which can be time limited (and presumably monitored/controlled) from his phone…
A system like that seems susceptible to significant amounts of misuse, perhaps even abuse.
Sounds great.
105 m2 bungalow in South East England
Mitsubishi Ecodan 8.5 kW air source heat pump
18 x 360W solar panels
1 x 6 kW GroWatt battery and SPH5000 inverter
1 x Myenergi Zappi
1 x VW ID3
Raised beds for home-grown veg and chickens for eggs
"Semper in excretia; sumus solum profundum variat"
I received confirmation this morning that my Greener Home Reward from my mortgage provider has been approved, so the additional £2,000 of support towards the cost of the installation (on top of the BUS grant award) is now a reality, or at least it will be when the payment is received within the next 4 weeks.
This isn't a widely known scheme, from what I can see, and I only became aware of it via Octopus' heat pump information page making reference to it. There are several banks which operate schemes like this, each with slight variations, for people with residential mortgages with them.
It's a retrospective application process, so you can only start the process post-installation, at which point you have to provide a copy of the invoice for the works, proof of payment and confirmation of the MCS certification for the work. Once approved, they repay the grant award into the account that you have your mortgage direct debit set up from.
The award covers different types of work, such as solar PV installations, but a heat pump installation qualifies for the maximum amount of £2,000.
Relative to the BUS grant, these still seem to be largely under the radar. The company I used to install the heat pump weren't aware of it, for example, but it's well worth being aware of if you're a qualifying customer. I've linked to a few below, for info:
