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.
The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (“RHI”) scheme for air source and ground source heat pumps is only open for a further 7 months! The scheme is set to end on 31st March 2022 for new applicants - that’s just 7 months away! If you are considering a ground source heat pump or air source heat pump for your home, now is the time to act in order to benefit from this generous Government grant scheme.
Human activity IS changing the climate to an unprecedented level, and some of the change is already irreversible. That is the conclusion from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report. Solutions are needed across all sectors in order to rapidly reduce emissions. Both Governments and individuals need to make positive decisions that will reduce carbon emissions right away.
We understand that when designing your own home, it will be a property that is unique. This means that the heat pump design will need to be unique too. For every heat pump that we design and supply, we complete a bespoke room-by-room heat loss assessment and produce a suite of bespoke schematics for the heat pump installation.
When installing a heat pump you are required to get permission from the District Network Operator - DNO - before making the connection. This is because the DNO, who are responsible for managing the network, need to check whether the local network can handle the additional load from a new heat pump installation. If you install a heat pump without permission, you could be forced to remove it.
DNO applications for existing electricity supplies are handled by us, in-house, as part of our service. When considering which heat pump partner to choose, this is an important factor to consider. Navigating the DNO process can be a challenge, and it is a requirement of the MCS scheme to have the DNO permission in place for a heat pump installation.
