With gas boilers being phased out in the coming years and heating accounting for a significant share of household emissions, awareness has never been more important. The campaign aims to give homeowners clear, accessible information on - cutting through confusion to highlight what heat pumps can really deliver."
"What is Heat Pump Week? Heat Pump Week is a national awareness campaign led by industry bodies, installers and experts to promote understanding of heat pump technology. Its purpose is to make the technology less daunting by sharing real-life case studies, data and expert commentary that show how heat pumps perform in practice. Running every year in late September and early October, the week provides a platform to discuss policy, highlight government targets, and encourage households to explore whether their homes are suitable."
Heat Pump Week runs annually in late September and early October to raise national awareness of heat pump technology. The campaign is led by industry bodies, installers and experts and shares real-life case studies, performance data and expert commentary to demonstrate practical outcomes. The initiative highlights policy, government targets and helps households assess suitability. Nearly 100,000 heat pumps were sold in the UK in 2024, a 60% increase on the previous year, but adoption remains below levels required for net-zero. Advances in installation methods and simplified planning rules make retrofitting possible for over 90% of UK homes, including older properties.
