For businesses and property owners benefiting from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), accurate heat meter readings are essential to ensure correct payments and compliance with Ofgem regulations.
When Should You Recalibrate?
RHI participants must follow the re-verification schedule set by Ofgem, typically every 10 years for heat meters or as specified by the manufacturer.
Why Recalibrate Kamstrup Heat Meters?
Kamstrup heat meters, such as the MULTICAL® 402, 403 and MULTICAL® 602 and 603, are known for their precision and reliability. However, under RHI regulations, meters must be periodically checked and, if necessary, recalibrated or replaced to ensure they remain within the required accuracy limits.
Key reasons for recalibration include:
✅ Regulatory compliance – Ofgem requires periodic verification of heat meter accuracy.
✅ Accurate RHI payments – Prevents over- or underpayments due to meter drift.
✅ Long-term reliability – Ensures meters continue to function optimally.
Alternatives to Recalibration
In some cases, replacing the heat meter with a new, pre-calibrated unit may be more cost-effective than recalibration. Kamstrup’s latest heat meters offer the latest technology, remote monitoring, and lower maintenance requirements, making them a smart choice for long-term RHI compliance.
Stay Compliant with Kamstrup Heat Meters
If you're an RHI participant, ensuring your Kamstrup heat meter is accurately calibrated is crucial to maintaining compliance and receiving the correct payments. Regular verification helps avoid unexpected penalties and ensures the continued efficiency of your renewable heating system.
