The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will take steps to support (a) households, (b) businesses and (c) public sector organisations with the cost of installing heat pumps.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government is providing a range of support to encourage the adoption of heat pumps. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3 and the Warm Homes: Local Grant help to support privately owned, social and privately rented properties respectively. The BUS also supports businesses to install heat pumps and the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is supporting a wide range of public sector organisations to install low carbon heating, including heat pumps.

The forthcoming Warm Homes Plan will also include additional measures to support investment in low carbon heating.
