Previous Customers - Legacy Systems
If you already have a system installed by IES then you may well be eligible for this new payment (most heat pump and solar thermal installations since 15th July 2009). We will be writing to you shortly with instructions about how you should proceed. We would advise that you wait until we have fully digested the scheme details before you apply, as a premature application could result in incorrect payments.
If you want to take advantage of the RHI or would just like some more advice, don’t hesitate to call the sales team on 01624 223122 or email sales at iesolutions.com.
