Gav Murray, Hive heating director at Centrica New Business Net Zero, has commented on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) figures for February.
He said: “The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has helped drive adoption levels of heat pump technology across the UK, despite a slight dip in applications last month.
“To meet its ambitious target of 600,000 annual heat pump installations by 2028, the government must continue to provide funding and additional incentives to accelerate the rate at which homeowners switch to the green technology. Collaborating with industry stakeholders will be central to this and help ensure the workforce is in place to deliver on the heat pump revolution.”
