Cornwall emerges as the UK's heat pump capital with over 14,000 installations, showcasing a significant regional push towards renewable energy solutions amid rising energy costs.
High installation costs, estimated at £8,000 or more, are obstructing widespread adoption of heat pumps, particularly in older homes not suited for the technology.
Only 1% of UK homes have installed heat pumps due to various barriers, including a lack of skilled installers, consumer knowledge, and older draughty housing stock.
While heat pumps can lead to substantial savings, with potential reductions of up to 50% in energy bills, such savings depend heavily on high-quality installation and efficiency.
