Through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) Scheme, installers who fit a Grant Aerona or Aerona 290 air source heat pump with an Aerona Smart Controller, which have been recognised as an ECO4 Substantial Innovation Measure by OFGEM, can now access a 45% innovation measure uplift.
Through the Government’s ECO4 Scheme, funding is provided to eligible households to support the installation of energy efficiency measures into their homes with the aim of reducing fuel poverty and carbon emissions. Within the scheme, Innovation Measures are recognised which can either be Standard or Substantial. Installers who fit products or technologies which are ECO4 Innovation Measures can subsequently access additional funding with uplifts.
When a Grant heat pump is installed as an ECO4 Substantial Innovation Measure, Grant UK will support the set-up of the heat pump system with one of its in-house Technical Sales Support Engineers attending the site on the first installation. Grant UK will then carry out remote monitoring checks three months after installation, and again after 12 months, to ensure that the system is set up and operating correctly. The heat pump will be supported with a 12-year guarantee as well as 12 years’ worth of annual servicing (11 visits in total) carried out by a Grant UK Field Service Engineer.
Neil Sawers, Commercial Technical Manager at Grant UK, comments, “We are very pleased that Grant heat pumps have been recognised as an ECO4 Substantial Innovation Measure.
“Through the 45% uplift, installers can access additional ECO4 funding to help their customers move to a low carbon heat pump while also providing the end-user with a comprehensive 12-year heat pump guarantee and 12 years’ worth of annual servicing. Furthermore, the remote monitoring functionality of the Grant Aerona Smart Controller will allow our in-house Technical Team to access the heat pump system without being on-site, to provide support with diagnostics, system efficiency, and general maintenance, allowing the end-user to benefit from minimal disruption and increased comfort.”
