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.
In our March, we discussed amendments to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which included the removal of loft and cavity wall insulation prerequisites. Since then, more details have been released and clarity has been provided by the government.
Heat pumps are a fast growing technology in the heating market, offering energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions for homes and businesses.

Human activity IS changing the climate to an unprecedented level, and some of the change is already irreversible. That is the conclusion from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report. Solutions are needed across all sectors in order to rapidly reduce emissions. Both Governments and individuals need to make positive decisions that will reduce carbon emissions right away.
The Scottish Government has published a vision to transform the way buildings in Scotland are being heated. This is to ensure all buildings are more efficient and warmer and to help reach net zero emissions by 2045.
On the 8th October 2018, the most extensive warning on the risks of rising global temperatures was issued. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Carnage (IPCC), made up of various scientists and government officials, gathered at a meeting in South Korea and issued a special report on the impact of global warming.
