Green Homes Grant
Under the UK government’s Green Homes Grant, homeowners in England can apply for vouchers worth up to two thirds of the cost of upgrading the energy efficiency of their home. The Green Homes Grant will provide vouchers to install one or more energy saving measures, including air source heat pumps (where the home has, or is having installed, wall and loft insulation).
Under the grant conditions, homeowners are able to use an MCS certified contractor to carry out renewable energy efficient measures or low-carbon heating improvement in and around their homes. It is possible to use the Green Homes Grant vouchers to install an air source heat pump as a primary improvement measure.
For your heat pump project to be eligible you must use an MCS Certified Installer who is also registered with Trustmark.

The Panasonic Green Homes Cashback scheme operates in the UK. You can submit a claim for cashback if you have replaced your boiler with an Aquarea heat pump satisfying the terms. The Panasonic Green Homes Cashback Scheme can be claimed regardless as to whether you have claimed for any other government incentives. They are two different schemes running at the same time.

Claim for both the Green Homes Grant and dRHI
Both the Green Homes Grant and dRHI can be claimed for a heat pump installation. However, the Green Homes Grant must be claimed first, followed by the dRHI. Ofgem must be notified that this has been used when the dRHI claim is made. The Green Homes Grant grant amount received will then be deducted from the dRHI payments.
