Chippenham-based Good Energy, the 100% renewable power company, is to launch a tariff for heat pumps. The new offering will be ideal for homeowners planning to make the most of the government’s new Green Homes Grant to electrify their home heating system.

The tariff will be offered to customers this autumn when the government begins accepting applications for the £2bn fund. People can claim up to £10,000 towards green home improvements and this includes air source heat pumps – a greener electrified heating system which is an alternative to gas central heating.

Good Energy’s new tariff will make it cost effective to run a heat pump using 100% renewable electricity, by offering cheaper unit rates at certain periods during the day.
