According to Uswitch, Cornwall's heat pump installations exceed 14,000 whereas other regions struggle, highlighting regional disparities fueled by poorly insulated homes and high costs.
'Heat pumps have been slow to spread across the UK so far, with their widespread adoption being held back by high installation costs and poorly insulated housing,' explains Ben Gallizzi.
Regions like Cornwall benefit from awareness of financial incentives, with programmes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme boosting heat pump adoption as opposed to areas with lack of support.
Cornwall Council's 'Housing Decarbonisation programme' raises awareness of the grants available for improving home efficiency, significantly contributing to the region's high heat pump installation rates.
