Heat pump installations in the UK have already exceeded last year’s total, setting a new milestone for the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) with three months still to go in 2024. By the end of September, 42,000 installations were completed—outpacing 2023's total by approximately 4%.
The UK government is launching the Warm Homes Grant in 2025, an exciting initiative aimed at helping homeowners make their properties more energy-efficient. This fully funded scheme is available to those who meet certain criteria and could significantly reduce your energy costs while lowering your home's carbon footprint.
This week, the UK's last coal power station closed, signalling that the country’s energy landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. For over 200 years, coal was king, powering industry and homes alike. But today, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro are rapidly replacing fossil fuels in the national grid. With that change comes a new challenge—and opportunity—for those of us in the heating and plumbing industry.
With the UK election out the way and a new government in place, we feel it’s important to explore the potential implications for the heat pump market now that Labour has taken the helm. For plumbers, particularly those considering diversifying into heat pump installations, Labour's anticipated measures could present significant opportunities in the evolving green energy sector.
The UK remains overly dependent on natural gas, according to the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), which provides independent recommendations to the government.
In its recent annual assessment, the NIC highlights the urgent need to reduce reliance on high-cost, high-carbon natural gas and accelerate the adoption of heat pump technology to meet the ambitious net zero targets by 2050. According to the Commission, decarbonising buildings is a critical aspect of this transition and represents the single biggest challenge on the path to net zero.
At Alto Energy we always strive for the best possible customer service. We send a survey out to each customer to find our just how we did, including both new heat pump customers and service customers. With more heat pumps commissioned and serviced than ever before, we thought we would share our feedback from last year.
We at Alto Energy we strive to offer the best possible customer service. The best way in improving that is to get feedback from our customers to offer them, and any new customers, a better service moving forward. We are posting every 3 months to provide an update on the feedback our customers have been giving us via the survey platform, SurveyMonkey.

1 year on and we've now provided engineering services to over 1000 customers. One of our main goals is to give the best possible experience for our customers, and one of the best ways to improve that is to get feedback from our customers on their experience with us.

So far this year we've already provided engineering services to over 400 customers. One of our main goals is to give the best possible experience for our customers, and one of the best ways to improve that is to get feedback from our customers on their experience with us. So we are using a survey platform in the shape of SurveyMonkey to do just that!
