‘Growth story of the decade’: Official government figures show heat pump sales hit record high

Matt Isherwood, Managing Director, Aira UK, comments on the recent Boiler Upgrade Scheme application figures. He said: “Government forecasts highlight heat pumps as one of the defining growth stories of the decade, with adoption set to surge by 2030.

The 2025 Boiler Upgrade Scheme application figures clearly demonstrate this momentum, with a 36% year-on-year increase. Households are increasingly choosing heat pumps as a reliable, affordable, and future-proof way to heat their homes, and it is encouraging to see the BUS extended with further investment under the recently published Warm Homes Plan.

“Across Europe, 30 million households already rely on electric heating, and heat pumps are a mainstream technology, delivering savings, comfort, and efficiency in countries like Sweden, where people are no strangers to long, cold winters.

The UK is now following a well-established, proven path, and the sector is positioned to accelerate rapidly as confidence, capability, and policy support continue to align. Meanwhile, we will continue to push for lower electricity prices to maximise cost savings for heat pump households.”
