Government launches renewable heat incentive

The Government’s Renewable Heat Initiative (RHI) has finally gone live which is excellent news for homeowners and the industrial, commercial and public sector. The Renewable Heat Initiative is a fixed payment for generating heat from renewable resources and has both environmental and financial benefits. Aimed at stimulating the UK's green economy and cutting the nation's carbon emissions, it replicates the successful Feed-In-Tariff scheme which paid property owners for producing renewable electricity.

But how can homes and businesses reap the benefits of RHI and find the best energy options?

REM (Responsible Energy Management) has set itself the task of reducing the carbon emissions of the nation’s homes and is in the best possible position to help customers capitalise on this new scheme. It does this by providing hugely advanced renewable and efficient energy technologies to cut carbon emissions – and costs.

REM can recommend the ideal renewable heating system to suit your needs whether it is to heat a small house or heat a large industrial property. Its GasSolarUnit, a remarkable combination of sparingly used conventional energy alongside the sun’s heat, can slash bills by up to 50%, whilst having an 110% energy efficiency rate.

REM systems offer oil reliant homeowners a way to shrink their energy budgets by as much as 70%. The company's A1 oil condensing boiler uses state of the art engineering to get the maximum energy from the lowest amounts of oil. The system can also be combined with Solaris units to harvest the sun's free energy and is bio-oil compatible - cutting emissions and costs even further.

The final cost saving element that homeowners can benefit from is REM's revolutionary HPSU range of energy efficient heat pumps. Converting the ambient heat in the atmosphere into usable energy for the home, it is the finishing touch in the ultimate green line up. The Rotex HPSU is no ordinary heat pump and provides the last word in domestic green energy supply. Used in conjunction with REM’s GasSolarUnit, it can provide 80% of the homes’ heating and hot water from free, renewable energy.

Renewable Heating Incentive schemes reduce the payback period for green energy systems considerably and will leave the homeowner and businesses with long term profit. Also avoiding the inevitable energy price hikes of the future, this makes REM's cutting edge green heating systems a sensible investment for the future – both financially and environmentally.
