2024 is set to be a record-breaking year for heat pump installations. In the first six months of 2024, there have been 26,797 certified heat pump installations - which is a 45% increase on the same period in 2023.
With these figures, 2024 is on track to see more heat pumps installed in the UK than ever before, according to data from MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme), the UK’s quality mark for small-scale renewable energy.
There have also been 81,000 MCS certified solar panel installations in 2024, and MCS marked a milestone this Spring with more than 1.5million solar installations completed in the UK.
The CEO for MCS, Ian Rippin said: "As the decarbonisation of UK homes gathers pace, it’s vital that homeowner confidence in renewables continues to grow alongside that to sustain demand. High-quality installations are key to this because we want everyone to enjoy the benefits of home-grown energy, so it’s fantastic to see these record numbers for certified installations."
Limitless Energy are delighted to be MCS certified installers, providing quality and insurance warrantied work for our customers.
Ian Rippin continues that: "... we also know that alongside consumer trust in the effectiveness of renewable technology, ongoing government support can make a significant difference in helping to make the transition. The recently published Heat Strategy for Wales highlights a clear commitment to heat pumps, and initiatives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) – which provides up to £7,500 towards the installation of a heat pump – are crucial in providing support to consumers. It is no coincidence that the record number of certified heat pump installations has coincided with a record number of BUS applications in 2024, which is ensuring more homeowners have access to low-carbon technology. It’s something that we hope the government will continue to support as home-grown energy becomes more mainstream in UK homes.”
