Heating our homes accounts for 14% of the UK’s carbon emissions, requiring a wholesale switch to energy efficient heat pumps.
According to the UK Government, 600,000 heat pumps a year need to be installed from 2028 to meet our carbon-reduction targets, aligning with installation levels of other European nations.
Heat pumps create warmer, better homes whilst improving lives and livelihoods. Heat Pump Month brings together industry bodies, manufacturers and suppliers with influencers, specifiers and installers to enable the scale-up of heat pump deployment across the UK.
From Monday 14th June a month-long series of free-to-attend online events will bring together housing, built-environment, policy and installation professionals to collaborate around one the UK’s greatest carbon-reduction challenges – our homes.
Heat Pump Month is backed by Ground Source Heat Pump Association, Heat Pump Association, Heat Pump Federation and MCS, and supported by heat pump manufacturers: Daikin, Kensa, Mitsubishi Electric and Vaillant, water treatment experts Elysator UK and heat emitter manufacturers Jaga UK.
“The GSHPA is delighted to be supporting ‘Heat Pump Month’ during our very own organisation’s ‘Year of the Heat Pump’,” said Laura Bishop, Chair, Ground Source Heat Pump Association.
“With the national conversation around heat pump technology taking a step up at the end of 2020, and Boris Johnson’s mention of 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028 in his Green Revolution 10-point plan in November, heat pumps have suddenly become the ‘hot’ topic.
“This has provided a huge potential springboard for the ground source heat pump industry, one which we are eager and able to respond to. It is also an exciting time to be working within the heat pump sector and the GSHPA welcome enquiries from anyone involved with or interested in heat pumps. We encourage all those working within the heat pump industry to join us.”
