The learnings from Heat Pump Ready are intended to help the sector overcome barriers to heat pump deployment to reach the Government’s target of 600,000 heat pumps installed per year by 2028.
This page will be updated with key learnings as the programme progresses.
It will include guidance notes, research reports, case studies, and reports summarising the findings from the projects supported through the programme.
Key lessons for deploying heat pumps at scale
In this blog, we explore four learnings from the Heat Pump Ready projects working on innovative methodologies to achieve high-density deployment within several communities:
- Raise awareness by leveraging early adopters and building supportive communities.
- Build a supply chain by fostering collaboration between installers.
- Engage with the Distribution Network Operators from the outset to understand and manage the impact on the grid.
- Embrace different finance models to overcome the upfront cost barrier.
The Heat Pump Ready programme is funded by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero as part of the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). Research, collaboration and knowledge sharing is managed by the Carbon Trust with support from IPSOS and Technopolis.
