Why this programme is being delivered
Supporting more efficient, future-ready home heating across Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland must transition towards lower-carbon home heating to meet our regional climate objectives.
While switching from oil to natural gas can reduce home carbon emissions by up to 50%, the gas industry is now exploring how we can reduce emissions even further by combining biomethane ready gas boilers with highly efficient heat pumps.
A hybrid heat pump offers consumers the best of both worlds, combining the efficiency of a heat pump with the reliability of a gas boiler in an easily installable package that delivers lower carbon emissions without change to comfort.
This programme supports selected homeowners across Northern Ireland with financial support to upgrade their oil or gas boiler to a hybrid heat pump.
Supporting the Transition to a Lower-Carbon Future
Phoenix Energy, Kinecx Energy and Evolve are the Northern Ireland gas network operators helping people take part in the Gas Hybrid Heat Pump Allowance Programme. This is part of a long-term plan to make home heating greener while keeping energy safe, reliable and efficient.
