The Great British Heat Pump Quiz
Whether you’re a homeowner, installer, retrofit nerd or just someone who’s fallen down the renewable heating rabbit hole, The Great British Heat Pump Quiz is your chance to put your knowledge to the test, learn something new and have a bit of fun along the way.
And yes, we’re charging £5 to take part. Here’s why it’s worth every penny.
Let’s be real. Most online quizzes are either clickbait or cobbled together from random trivia. This isn’t one of them. Our quiz was built to educate and challenge, with 100 high quality multiple-choice questions drawn from technical guidelines, installer experience, commissioning best practices, training materials and manufacturer documentation. It has taken weeks to compile.
To make things even more interesting, we’ve even had questions contributed by renowned heat pump experts like Graham Hendra, Patrick Wheeler, Brendon Uys, James Clark and Damon Blakemore.
Your small contribution helps keep the quiz (and our site) running at the highest standard.
- Earlier this year we upgraded to high-performance hosting to support the hundreds of thousands of visitors coming to Renewable Heating Hub.
- Our new servers are powered by 100% renewable energy, making this (as far as we know) the UK’s greenest heat pump quiz.
- You get instant grading and explanations at the end, turning the quiz into a genuine learning tool – even if you don’t pass the first time.
Your Certificate
Score 80% or more, and you’ll earn your Great British Heat Pump Quiz Certificate – personalised and downloadable. It’s great for CPD, your LinkedIn profile, professional growth, personal development… or just for bragging rights.

Leaderboards coming soon
Soon we’ll launch a top 20 public scoreboard below so you can see how you stack up against installers, engineers and heat pump pros. Fastest perfect score? That’s the dream. And you can take the quiz as many times as you like.

I thought I would take your test and support you with £5 🙂
Please to say I scrapped past the 80% lol cert attached for fun.

@ashp-bobba thank you for your support. We've had a number of registrations but not many have taken the quiz yet. You are the first industry professional to do the test!
How did you find it and what did you think?
And you didn't scrape through 🤣 There were some hard and trick questions in there.

First homeowner review is in too:
"The quiz was fantastic... really useful and great fun too. As a homeowner, I didn’t expect to get everything right, but I was surprised by how much I learned. Some of the technical questions made me stop and think, especially around delta T and system control. It really challenged me to understand how heat pumps work beyond just the basics.
Even though I didn’t ace it, I walked away with more clarity and confidence about my system. It’s a brilliant way to test what you know and pick up new insights along the way. Highly recommend it for anyone with a heat pump or thinking of getting one."

@editor I thought it was great, I was more focused on what questions the other experts were issuing and wondering what questions I would have offered 🙂
I also tried to do it at the same time as helping CB with his Ecodan on here, taking an order, answering the phone and helping my team in the office haha so that my excuse for getting a couple wrong (I also don't know everything ASHP) just enough one might say.
I think it covered a lot of the technical language you hear fired around and highlights the importance of how one element can effect another. Key as always is design, application and commissioning.

@ashp-bobba DM me two questions, and I'll add them to the quiz... there are over 100 questions loaded already, but it randomly serves up 100 of those.

I paid my fiver and enjoyed the random questions I got. How do you get the certificate (I passed)
4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.

That was fun, thank you @editor. 85%, which is just as well after 35years in the HVAC industry. Some careless answers on my part, and maybe a couple of ambiguous questions. Some howlers in there as well from the pro contributors 🙂

Just had a go at this - scored 83. Not bad for just a homeowner with an ASHP and an interest in system design and how to extract the most efficiency. Many of the questions I got wrong were the technical ones from Graham/Brendan/Patrick that need a little more hardware knowledge.
@steve81uk, that's a cracking score, well done! I designed the quiz so most people with decent low-temp heating knowledge should hit around 80% to pass, while scores between 80-95% are really for those with deep technical know-how of the units inside and out. 93% is still the score to beat.
