H Tariff for air-conditioned heating - full guide
A H tariff a preferential electricity tariff that suppliers offer specifically for energy-efficient heating systems, such as inverter air conditioners and heat pumps. The idea is that during the heating season (15 October to 15 April), households can get electricity at a much lower price than the normal residential rate.
A big advantage is that the discounted electricity is available 24 hours a day, so the heating system can be operated continuously. This not only saves money, but also offers a comfortable and environmentally friendly solution for those who want to heat with a modern air conditioner or heat pump.
