Plumb Center has been working with the government in the development stages of the framework and will continue to lobby for the inclusion of heating solutions as part of the scheme.

The same week also saw the launch of the £860m Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) for non-domestic properties, which represent 38 per cent of the UK’s carbon emissions. RHI offers support of between 1 to 8.5p per kWh for installations of biomass, heat pumps and solar thermal, all of which are included in Plumb Center’s product range. This ties in to the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) for homes under which over £2.5m in vouchers have been issued.
