Alto Energy now offers Samsung's latest air source heat pump, the Samsung HT Quiet. Here's everything you need to know about this new addition to the Samsung product line.
The BBC has reported that the Climate Change Committee wants half of UK homes to have heat pumps by 2040 to help meet net zero targets. With record heat pump sales in 2024 and government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, the shift to low-carbon heating is already underway. But what does this mean for homeowners and the future of home heating?
As we all know, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a fantastic government initiative designed to help homeowners in England and Wales make the switch to eco-friendly heating systems. With grants of up to £7,500, it's a real game-changer when it comes to installing heat pumps!
Sales of heat pumps in the UK have reached record levels in 2024, with factory gate data from the Heat Pump Association (HPA) showing a 63% increase compared to 2023. A total of 98,468 heat pumps were sold, marking a significant step towards decarbonising home heating.
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.
