UK reaches 250,000 certified heat pump installations
"over 30,000 certified #heatpumps were installed between January and July 2024, representing a 45% increase from the same period in 2023; this puts the UK on track for a record-breaking 2024 for heat pump installations. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides up to £7,500 to households looking to switch their gas boilers to heat pumps, and uptake rates have skyrocketed following its implementation"
