The Great British Heat Pump Owner Persona Survey: Let's Build Our Archetype!
Happy New Year everyone!
As we head into 2026, I thought it would be genuinely interesting (and fun) to find out who the "typical" British heat pump owner really is. Are we all Guardian-reading, organic-eating, EV-driving eco-warriors? Or are we secretly just a bunch of spreadsheet-loving bill-minimisers who jumped on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme bandwagon?
Let's settle it once and for all with the Great British Heat Pump Persona survey. It's completely anonymous, no email required and should take a couple of minutes to complete.
Complete the survey here: https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk/the-great-british-heat-pump-owner-persona-survey-lets-build-our-archetype/

ASHP INSTALL: An absolute nightmare from the start. Our property has been ruined, we have a leaking roof, and the house is cold. We have installed two wood burners to keep us warm. Oh, the green Irony. £30,000 spent fighting government granted company that fitted our ECO4 ASHP plus solar.
@mosibi, our audience is 95% British, so that's why I'm focusing on that. The British heat pump market, from what I've gauged, is massively different to Europe, Asia and North America (and this is something I want to investigate further this year). Having said that, motivations might be similar.

Feel free to sent me a message if you want some info from a Dutch point-of-view

True, but your answer is hard to understand for a geek as me: yes or no? 😀
@mosibi, go on then, complete the survey. Let's get the Dutch perspective. I feel bad now. 🤣
Also good to know that you're abroad... I'll reach out via DM in the next fortnight to ask a few questions about heat pump installs in The Netherlands.
