Hamid Salimi, residential product manager at Daikin, has responded to the news that heat pump installations rose in 2024.
Hamid said: “We are confident the UK could get closer to, or even exceed the government’s target of up to 600,000 heat pumps if a few key areas are addressed by the government: Increasing the number of qualified installers; boosting demand for heat pumps by tackling misinformation and effectively communicating their benefits; providing financial incentives, like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, to encourage people to take the first step; and by addressing the cost disparity between electricity and gas.”
