Heating: Housing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support households switch to low carbon heating where heat pump installation is not (a) economically or (b) practically possible.
- Answer
-
The Government is taking a range of steps to make heat pumps more affordable and remove barriers to their installation. This includes providing grants of £7,500 under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), supporting innovation and reviewing permitted development rights.
For the small number of homes where a heat pump is not suitable, we expect other technologies to play a role in the transition to clean heat. We continue to build the evidence base on alternative technologies and this research will inform future policy development.
