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"

"People living in a typical three-bedroom, semi-detached newly built house would save an average of £1,341 a year if it was equipped with solar panels, a heat pump, high-grade insulation and battery storage."

A study by MCS Foundation calls for building new homes to low carbon standards to be mandatory.

UK has greenest summer of energy ever thanks to wind and solar. However...

"gas in the mix still threatens energy bills. Clean power is delivering cheap, low-cost power – ramping up deployment at scale can’t come soon enough.”
