About the ground source heat system technology...

Information from the vendors - 

Due to the current owners having an ambition to reduce carbon footprint a ground source heat system was installed and commissioned by Dec 21, the system is a Stiebel Eltron system, which is very good quality system and comes with 400l of hot water storage and a very efficient heat system. 

The system does increase the electricity costs for the house, but overall the cost is still well below gas and electricity and does benefit from the next 6.5 years of RHI payment at £900 per quarter currently, increasing by inflation every April.

DRHI Scheme Introduction

The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (DRHI) is a government financial incentive to promote the use of renewable heat, which can help reduce carbon emissions and meet the UK's renewable energy targets.

The DRHI is open to all households, on and off the gas grid, who have installed a renewable heating system and meet the eligibility criteria. People who join and follow the scheme rules receive quarterly payments over seven years for clean, green, renewable heat their systems are estimated to produce.

DRHI Payments

this installation is accredited to the DRHI, you are eligible to receive payments as long as you continue to meet your ongoing obligations. In most circumstances payments are based on the annual heat demand of your property, which can be found on your EPC. For this property the payment is £900 per quarter and that increases each year based on the tariff rate secured at accreditation, which may increase but will not ever decrease. During the seven years' scheme, your tariff rate changes in line with the Retail Prices Index (RPI) or Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which is calculated in April each year. Your tariff will not change for any other reason. These updates will happen automatically and can be viewed by logging into MyRHI and checking your payment schedule.
