On 26 March the Department launched the greener homes grant aid package for the domestic sector which includes funding for wood chip and wood pellet boilers and stoves, solar and heat pump technologies. The following grants are available for wood chip and wood pellet boilers and stoves.

The level of grant aid reflects the Government's commitment to actively encourage people to install renewable heat technology in their homes and the programme will be monitored closely to ensure that this objective is achieved.
