From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

The heat pump rollout lurches from one disaster to another.

Last year, according to the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, installations were less than 60,000, despite increased government subsidies of £7500.

The total number of installations in the UK is now 275,000, just one percent of UK households.

Meanwhile government statistics show that heat pump installations covered under the public subsidy regime are running at around 10,000 per quarter.

Although the ban on fossil fuel boilers in new builds this year will increase increase installations, this will have no effect on the 27 million existing houses.

At the current rate, 26.4 million will still not have heat pumps by 2035.
