When the RHI launches this Spring people with eligible systems installed as far back as 2009 may be eligible to receive payments. But there are some eligibility requirements.

The main requirement is that the system must have a valid MCS certificate. Officially the window to register older systems under MCS closed on the 22nd October 2013 and while we have tried to contact our past customers, many people with systems installed in the past may not have known about the deadline.

However it now appears that the MCS may still allow an MCS certificate to be issued after the cut off date. We are currently processing MCS applications for a few of our customers with older systems and will let you know of the outcome.

If you had a system installed since 15th July 2009 and are not sure whether you will be eligible for the RHI please do get in touch.
