RHI Compliance: Why Heat Meter Accuracy Matters?

Heat meters play a vital role in converting renewable heat output into measurable data that determines incentive payments. However, like all precision instruments, these meters can degrade over time, leading to a decline in accuracy.

An inaccurate heat meter can result in miscalculated payments, penalties, or, in some cases, disqualification from the RHI program. That’s why it’s crucial to monitor and maintain meter accuracy—particularly as your equipment nears the 10-year recalibration or replacement deadline mandated by the scheme.

At DMS, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner for renewable heating system owners across the UK. With extensive experience supporting RHI participants, we provide tailored solutions that ensure your metering equipment remains reliable, accurate, and fully compliant.

1.      Recalibration Services (pending OFGEM standards)
If your meter’s performance declines, DMS works with leading manufacturers to recalibrate and restore it to regulatory standards, protecting your RHI claims.

2.      High-Quality Replacement Solutions

For older or non-serviceable meters, replacement is often the most cost-effective and efficient solution. DMS offers a wide selection of RHI-compliant heat meters designed to meet current standards and integrate easily into your existing systems. Our team handles the entire process, from consultation to installation, minimising disruption and ensuring a smooth transition.

Staying Compliant after the Closed RHI Scheme

With the RHI scheme now closed to new applicants, maintaining compliance is critical for current participants. Any lapse in meter accuracy could put your hard-earned benefits at risk. Partnering with DMS gives you the assurance that your systems remain efficient, compliant, and future-ready.
