UK Heat Pump Adoption Drive Intensifies with New 'Visit a Heat Pump' Scheme

Innovative program launched by Nesta allows prospective buyers to experience heat pumps firsthand, aiming to boost uptake and meet climate goals.

Nesta's 'Visit a Heat Pump' initiative encourages UK residents to host viewings of their heat pumps, reminiscent of 1960s Tupperware parties.
The scheme has already enlisted 150 homeowners across the UK, from Bristol to Falkirk, to demonstrate the technology's benefits.
Government support includes a £7,500 grant to encourage households to switch from gas boilers to more sustainable heat pumps.
Ministers and energy experts believe the initiative will dispel myths and increase confidence in heat pumps as a viable home heating solution.
Research indicates that 81% of heat pump users are satisfied with the technology, suggesting it is effective for a wide range of homes.
