The Future Homes Standard will take effect in early 2026, making heat pumps standard in new-build homes. Learn what this means for developers, installers, and the growing low-carbon heating market.
The Government has launched its £15 billion Warm Homes Plan, aiming to cut energy bills and lift up to a million families out of fuel poverty by 2030 through heat pumps, solar panels, batteries, and insulation. The plan supports all households, with targeted interventions for low-income families, social housing upgrades, and new protections for renters, while providing long-term certainty for the heat pump industry through schemes like the extended Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is set to continue supporting heat pump installations, with expanded funding, new technologies, and relaxed EPC requirements. Alto Energy explains what these changes mean for homeowners and installers alike, and how they make switching to low-carbon heating even easier.
The latest UK Budget brings major developments for the heat pump industry, including an extended Boiler Upgrade Scheme, the end of ECO4, and changes that will lower electricity prices. We break down what these updates mean for installers, homeowners, and the future of low-carbon heating in the UK.

Climate change is already reshaping life in the UK, and home heating is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions. This article explains why heat pumps are central to tackling climate change in homes, drawing on BBC reporting and government data to show how low-carbon heating can significantly reduce emissions, improve air quality, and support the UK’s net zero goals.
The UK’s heating industry is approaching a critical turning point. As demand for air source heat pumps and renewable heating grows, the sector faces a major shortage of skilled plumbers and heating engineers. With many tradespeople nearing retirement and too few new entrants joining the field, this skills gap threatens to slow the nation’s low-carbon transition. But with the right investment in training, apprenticeships, and green technology, the industry has a chance to turn this challenge into an opportunity for lasting change.
Heat pumps offer an efficient, low-carbon way to heat homes — but only when they’re properly designed. This article explores how poor system design can undermine performance and why partnering with a specialist like Alto Energy ensures every installation delivers comfort, reliability, and long-term efficiency.
