Takes about a minute to start. OVO handles quote details and suitability checks.
VAT relief can affect the installed cost of qualifying residential energy-saving materials. Treat it as a tax treatment to check in the quote, not as a discount promised by a website.
Installed measure
VAT treatment depends on the supply and installation meeting the rules.
Temporary rules
The current zero-rate period for qualifying residential installations runs until 31 March 2027.
Quote clarity
A quote should show how VAT has been handled.
What to ask the provider
Ask whether the quote includes VAT, whether the installation qualifies under the current rules, and whether any parts of the job are treated differently.
- Is VAT included in the shown price?
- Which items are treated as qualifying energy-saving materials?
- Are battery or ancillary works included?
- What happens if the rules change before installation?
Why this matters for comparison
Two quotes are not comparable if one shows VAT-inclusive pricing and the other does not. Confirm the tax treatment before comparing headline totals.
