Would you have installed a heat pump without the grant and will you install one in the future if funding is removed? Poll is created on Nov 14, 2025

I installed a heat pump only because the grant made it affordable. Without it, I wouldn’t have.

I installed one partly because of the grant, but may have done it eventually without it.

I installed a heat pump with no government funding.

I haven’t installed yet, and I won’t unless a grant is available.

I haven’t installed yet, but I would consider it even without funding.

I won’t install a heat pump at all unless installation prices drop significantly... grant or no grant.

I’m undecided... the grant helps, but design quality, installer competence and trust matter more.

I'll never install a heat pump because I'm not convinced about the tech and installation quality.

@jamespa I’m less inclined to believe the shift of taxes onto electricity was to cripple the transition as unintended consequences. There’s plenty of evidence on various governmental decisions that accidentally self crippling are more frequent than malice. There’s plenty c@ck-up theory of life basically.

A paper on leasing etc options for heat pumps.

https://www.climatexchange.org.uk/publications/heat-pumps-on-subscription/

Yesterday the government said

"To make heat pumps available to even more households, government previously consulted on different purchase options, including the possibility of leasing a heat pump with no upfront cost, but with low, monthly payments instead.

Following significant feedback to the consultation, government will continue to explore the feasibility of introducing such schemes, with further announcements to be made in due course. "

This would help those who can't afford the upfront costs and depending on the lease may well reduce the risk to many consumers of poor installs and help many budget. It is certainly something I would consider, just like not paying up front for an EV.

@transparent did you contribute to the consultation mentioned?
