Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of including air-to-air heat pumps in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
- Answer
-
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not currently support air-to-air heat pumps, as heat pump installations must provide both space heating and hot water heating, using liquid as a medium for delivering that heat. In most cases, air-to-air systems only provide space heating, with many installations still reliant on burning fossil fuels for hot water. We want to target support at technologies that offer the greatest potential to decarbonise our buildings.
However, the Government will keep its position on alternative electric heating technologies under review, and would consult industry and key stakeholders on any potential changes to the scheme before making any decisions.
