[QUOTE="akaPABLO01, post: 6423180, member: 43748"] You can dump the biomass or sell it on. If you dump it you request to be removed from biomass rhi Install gshp and use the current district network pipework. The people helping you to complete the rhi for gshp would need to know the insulated pipe size, make and model for heat loss calculations with meters everywhere. Reapply for rhi. Now the thing is you are currently paid 180x 1314 tier 1 The heat pump should be slightly bigger than the biomass, not much, but bigger due to temp difference. This is your sticky point here. If the installers were honest and done a correct heat loss requirement and didn’t over egg the size of the biomass to help you profit more? So sticking a wet finger in the air and pulling a 180kW biomass off the shelf because it helps the selling point then it’s ok. BUT, if you have another heat loss requirement done and it comes in at say 100kW gshp then you may face a site audit as the gshp should in reality be 190/200 in comparison to the biomass. Then again I may be complementing Ofgem investigation and compliance checks. Will they be alarmed that you’ve had a 25/40% decrease? Your guess is as good as mine? You’ll need new metering also.
