The UK is progressing towards its goal of 600,000 heat pumps installed each year by 2028. Aira reports a significant 54% increase in applications for heat pump grants in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. The boost in applications is attributed to the removal of planning permission requirements for many installations, enabling faster approvals. In June 2025, 3,715 applications were received, up from 2,687 the previous year. The UK's heat pump sector is rapidly growing, with approximately 100,000 units sold in 2024 and continued growth anticipated.
The number of people applying for heat pump grants through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme has increased by 54% in the first half of 2025 compared to last year.
Since the removal of planning permission for heat pumps installed within one metre of a property boundary, the proportion of Aira customers needing planning permission has dropped to just 5 to 10 percent.
In June 2025 alone, 3,715 applications were made to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, compared to 2,687 in the same month the prior year, indicating strong growth.
The UK's heat pump sector is rapidly expanding, with around 100,000 heat pumps sold across the UK in 2024 and expected growth in subsequent years.
