Given the BUS Consultation Response published this morning by @energygovuk, this panel will be very topical. Come along and have a listen @installerfestival

Big news for the heat pump sector! Last week, members of the Heat Pump Association, Ground Source Heat Pump Association, and Heat Pump Federation voted to merge into a single, unified Heat Pump Trade Body, which will truly represent the complete heat pump supply chain.

We are aligning to bring together decades of expertise, experience, advocacy, and sector leadership under one clear unified voice. Further details on the ‘Merged Association’ will follow in the coming weeks, with the official Launch expected early next year. Watch this space..

So, it can be done!
Coolest temperature so far this year last night, dropped down to 5.8C, my @myGrantUK Aerona 290 heat pump is working well, keeping the house toasty warm with a space heating COP of above 5, data from this sysytem is live on @Openenergymon 👏😀heatpumpmonitor.org/system/v…

The HETS research shows that 94% of homeowners with a heat pump are either “satisfied” (44%) or “extremely satisfied” (50%). Compared to a total of 85% satisfaction for the most common heating system in the UK, the mains gas boiler. electrifyresearch.co.uk/blog…

We need every household to feel part of a cleaner and healthier future, with highly visible community returns, whether this is in lower bills, better services or even improved NHS and schools provision.

Another side to the Smart Meter revolution is to ensure that all tenants can benefit from the massive benefits that flexible generation & use of electricity can deliver. Landlords should be encouraged to empower their tenants to engage with energy efficiency in every possible way

Another clear analysis of this vital aspect of decarbonisation policy from @EnergyUKcomms Action on the price of electricity can't come too soon for domestic decarbonisation, but is also critical to commercial and industrial decarbonisation and to UK competitiveness
Lowering the cost of electricity for households would be transformative. 🧵 🍃 It would make clean heat tech far cheaper to operate – encouraging adoption. 🫶 It would also help existing electric heating customers – who are among those most likely to be in fuel poverty.

Heat pumps can heat any home, and any commercial building - cooling too, if needed!

This consultation is a must for all those in the clean heat sector!
Today we've announced new measures to help UK consumers switch from fossil fuels to low carbon heating, including proposals to extend grants to new tech like heat batteries and air-to-air heat pumps, and further investment in the heat pump supply chain -> gov.uk/government/news/famil…

There are lots of government consultations, but if you operate in low carbon heat, this is one that you really should respond to
With more households wanting to switch to low-carbon heating, we're launching a consultation to expand the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Proposals included could involve: ✅ Air-to-air heat pumps ✅ Heat batteries ✅ Heat pump purchase options Have your say on the plans 👇
