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 is closing to new applicants on 31st March 2022. Whilst we are still awaiting the confirmation of the final details from the Government about the closure of the scheme, we already have a good understanding of the plan from the Government’s consultation document earlier in the year, as well as a number of Ofgem workshops we have attended over the past few months.
The Government have today published their consultation response for the Future Support for Low Carbon Heat: Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This scheme will be the successor to the current domestic renewable heat incentive scheme, and will provide customers with an upfront grant to reduce the capital cost of installing a heat pump system.
The Government plans for the cost of green levies - which raise money to pay for climate change policies - to start coming from your gas bill instead of your electricity bill. This is great news for heat pumps, because it means that by switching from gas to an electrically-powered heat pump, you will save even more on your running costs.
We understand that when designing a heat pump for your home, every property 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.
