flag UK heat pump adoption lags due to cost, trust, and policy gaps despite incentives.

flag A UK consumer group warns that despite rising public interest in heat pumps, high upfront costs, uncertainty over long-term savings, and lack of trust in installers are slowing adoption, with only 3% of homeowners having installed them. flag Although the government has increased grants and aims to boost uptake, deployment remains far below targets, and critics say current policies favor wealthier households. flag Advocates urge stronger financial support, better consumer advice, and mandatory installer certification to meet climate goals. flag Meanwhile, NSW, Australia, has extended its $1 million heat pump feasibility grant deadline to November 24, 2025, offering up to $30,000 to help businesses assess switching to heat pumps, which can exceed 400% efficiency and cut emissions.
