What does ‘net zero carbon’ mean?

Net zero carbon refers to achieving a balance which ensures that the level of carbon dioxide within the atmosphere is not added to or increased. The Government has set the country a target of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 which will mean that society, its behaviours and everything it produces, will need to collectively not increase the overall level of emissions, including carbon. Wherever possible, no carbon emissions should be produced but when they are, society needs to counteract these emissions with an environmentally friendly solution to absorb any excess carbon from the atmosphere.

What is ErP?
The Energy Related Products (ErP) Directive has been designed to aid the EU in achieving reductions in energy usage: carbon, NOx and SO2 emissions and other environmental issues such as noise and the use of refrigerants in heat pumps. The Directive is also designed to help consumers identify the most energy efficient products on the market with energy efficiency labelling. The ErP details energy efficiency requirements which appliances must meet and preferably exceed. Manufacturers must ensure that their products are prepared for the new legislation changes, incorporating product updates to improve efficiency levels (e.g. fitting high efficiency circulating pumps).
What is the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)?

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) was a Government initiative introduced to encourage and reward people for using renewable fuels to heat their properties. The Domestic RHI Scheme closed to new applications in March 2022.

I have heard I can get a ten year guarantee on my oil boiler, is this correct?

We do offer a ten year guarantee on our Vortex Pro Boiler range; however, this is subject to certain Terms and Conditions such as the product being installed by a Grant G1 installer and a Grant Mag One filter being fitted to the system. For details on how to find a G1 Installer, please visit our Find an Installer search.

How can I find G1 Installers and/or service engineers in my local area?

Grant UK’s Find an Engineer search facility allows homeowners to find local installers and engineers in their area. Simply click on ‘Find an Engineer’ under the ‘Support’ header and then enter your postcode. The search will then bring up a selection of G1 installers and service engineers based locally to you. You can also filter your search to suit your requirements.

Can G1 Installers offer extended guarantees on Grant’s renewable products as well as oil boilers?

G1 Installers can activate extended guarantees on the Grant products they are accredited to install. This can include Grant’s Aerona³ air source heat pumps and VortexAir Hybrid models. In order to activate the longer guarantee periods, the G1 Installer must install the appliance in full accordance with the installation instructions and then register the product via their online G1 Portal.

My Grant appliance was installed by a G1 Installer so who should register my product?
If your Grant product was purchased and installed by a G1 Installer, it is your installer’s responsibility to register the appliance via their online G1 Portal. Once they have registered your product, your G1 Installer will receive a copy of the registration paperwork and they can then forward this through to you for your records.
Can I add anything to my heating system to prevent it from freezing?
Yes, there are a number of products which may be used to give frost protection to domestic central heating systems.  For total system protection against freezing particularly during extended periods without electrical power, we recommend the use of a combined heating system antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
