Gail Parker, low carbon homes director at Centrica New Business Net Zero, has commented on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme figures for May.
Gail said: “May’s bumper application figures continue the record start to 2024, showing that a growing number of households are wanting to invest in low-carbon heating.
“As more market forces come into play to reduce the overall costs of running a heat pump, including cheaper tariffs like British Gas’ new Heat Pump tariff, the appetite for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme will only continue to grow. Home heating might be the last thing on our minds during a heatwave, but as the famous saying goes, it’s important to fix the roof while the sun is shining – and these figures are a great indication that homeowners are planning ahead and motivated to invest in sustainable technology before the colder months.”
