Heat Pump Demand in Britain Heats Up with Boiler Scrappage Scheme

UK: The UK's Boiler Upgrade Scheme, offering grants for low-carbon home heating upgrades, is a success. Applications for heat pumps, a clean and efficient alternative to gas boilers, have surged by 93% year-on-year. This is driven by increased government grants, competitive pricing from energy suppliers, and the introduction of cheaper electricity tariffs specifically designed for heat pumps.

The scheme has already helped over 25,000 families switch to heat pumps, and the government is committed to further support this transition. They are investing in training more heat pump installers and encouraging innovation in heat pump technology to make them even more affordable and accessible. With continued government support and industry efforts, the UK is on track to achieve its goal of 600,000 heat pump installations per year by 2028.
