renewable heat incentive

frugal90

do we have any predictions for what the tariff will be set at for the domestic sector -or even when the news will be out

i have heard rumours that it may be un -metered and set at a similar figure to the premium payment

i am thinking of replacing oil with a pellet boiler -any views ?

any views?

our wood pellet stove cost around £3000, which does not cover installation. It is italian and fully automatic, with a hopper. I believe the rhi will be dependent on having a good degree of insulation, which we have. I expect around £200-300 a year max and don`t think we will be hearing anything until 2012

are you pleased with it ?

is it mcz pellet boiler ?

the one we were looking at was mmcz musa hydro

oil is becoming so expensive

we have an mcz musa hydro and yes we are very pleased with it. It has a lot of different timer programmes or you can set your own. We do however live in an eco house ie it has the most insulation you can get plus triple glazed windows so needs very little heat input. The heat given out would not be enough for a `normal` house, unless you want to be back and forth filling the hopper

i am in a new house -well insulated

how long does the built in hopper last you ?

do you get much direct heat from it -i beliee it was about 10% and the other 90% to the heating system?
