Central Heating

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of how the replacement of circulator pumps could be more effectively reflected in Government energy efficiency advice and guidance for households.

Answer

The Government keeps its energy efficiency guidance for households under regular review to ensure it reflects the full range of measures available. While current guidance does not provide specific advice in relation to circulator pumps, ecodesign regulations prevent the least efficient pumps from being placed on the market.

Looking ahead, the new Warm Homes Agency will play a central role in providing advice to households on improving the efficiency of their homes, including how smaller measures can complement wider upgrades. The Department will continue to work with delivery partners to ensure household advice reflects technological developments and best practice.
