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.
Recent MCS investigations highlight the risks when shortcuts are taken. Some certified installers signed off on work they didn’t complete, submitting government funding claims on behalf of non-certified companies. This puts both homeowners and installers at risk, damages the reputation of heat pumps, and can lead to rejected applications or unsafe systems.
Many plumbers and heating engineers are exploring how to become a heat pump installer as the UK moves towards net zero. With hands-on training, practical guidance, and access to Alto Energy’s installer network, you can start installing air source and ground source heat pumps confidently while benefiting from support with MCS compliance and technical design.
