Heat Pumps: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of support arrangements for the installation of domestic heat pumps.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Government is taking a range of action to support the transformation of the low-carbon heating market. Further detail on the government’s approach to support the transition to cleaner, energy-secure homes and buildings will be set out in the government’s Warm Homes Plan.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is the Government’s flagship heat pump scheme. Installers participating in the scheme must be MCS or equivalent certified as well as being a member of an appropriate consumer code. MCS, the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, is a nationally recognised quality assurance scheme for renewable technologies setting high standards for products and installations.
