Umbrella Route to Bus Grant?

[Michael_S]

I would like an effective zero disruption install.  I think I could use a 9kw Grant Heat Pump costing 3.3k inc VAT run the cabling and pipework myself and even position the unit (total cost about 5k?) so it would just need someone to connect the electricals at the meter end, sign off on everything, inform the DNO, confirm it meets the BUS requirements and whatever else in order to get the BUS grant.  Even without this would seem cheaper than the 6k after BUS that I have been quoted.

 

Thoughts?

Umbrella route has been done by many. But everything is done via umbrella company with respect getting grants and paperwork, you do the work and report back, they may need to commission also.

 

9kW sounds big based on your other posts. If it's an R290 Grant, they don't do cooling. Have it confirmed from Grant technical.
