Mark your calendars for Heat Pump Week!

16 Sep 2024

What is Heat Pump Week?

The overarching aim of the week is to raise awareness of heat pump benefits for businesses and consumers and to increase understanding of how they work, demystifying their crucial role in achieving net zero emissions. 

In the UK, 18% of greenhouse gas emissions derive from buildings and homes. Heat pumps generate three to four times more energy than they consume, making them a remarkably efficient solution for home heating. Their efficiency translates to significantly reduced carbon emissions and energy savings, which is an essential part of the journey towards net zero. 

A greener future for all depends on the adoption of low carbon heating solutions. Heat Pump Week is a great opportunity to highlight growth in the UK’s heat pump industry by showcasing leadership and innovation of industry leaders and those with a keen interest in clean home heating solutions. 

Support the growth of the Heat Pump industry

Between 2021 and 2022, heat pump sales surged by an impressive 40%. This growth reflects a broader trend, as the UK government aims to boost the number of heat pump installations to 600,000 annually by 2028 under its Energy Security Bill. These targets highlight that the heat pump market is on the rise and that they are a key piece in the decarbonisation of home heating.

Organisations, associations and individuals are being called to take part in the conversation, access education and share their experiences to help further generate genuine interest and enhance knowledge of heat pump technology. 

How can centres get involved in Heat Pump Week?

Heat Pump Week is a prime opportunity to promote your centre’s heat pump training courses, and if you don’t currently provide any training, perhaps now is the time to consider expanding your offerings. 

We offer industry leading Level 3 heat pump qualifications designed to upskill heating engineers to air source heat pump (ASHP) and ground source heat pump (GSHP) installation. Take a look at our heat pump qualifications for more information about delivering these courses. 

Follow Heat Pump week’s socials on Facebook, LinkedIn and X to see what people in the industry are getting up to. Here’s some ideas for raising the profile of your approved centre during Heat Pump Week: 

  • Write a blog post for your website

  • Share a success story as a case study

  • Host an educational seminar

  • Share your promotions

  • Use your social media platforms to showcase how you are getting involved (and be sure to tag LCL awards on LinkedIn)

Heat Pump Week is a key moment in the journey towards net zero, encouraging businesses and consumers to embrace these low carbon heating solutions. The week offers opportunities for professional development; access to new knowledge, trends and best practices in the heat pump industry and networking with industry leaders and peers.
