The UK’s Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM) is set to accelerate heat pump adoption by requiring boiler manufacturers to meet sales targets. Learn what this means for installers and how Alto Energy can help you capitalise on this opportunity.
The ECO4 market has had its ups and downs, but installation volumes are starting to recover. If you're an installer, now is the time to explore available grants and funding. Many ECO4 schemes require MCS certification, but if you prefer not to go through the process yourself, you can subcontract to us. We offer MCS-compliant design, supply, and installation support, making it easier for you to get started.
Homeowners can now benefit from an upfront £7,500 BUS grant deduction for heat pump installations through trusted Alto Assured partners, making the switch easier and more affordable.
Join us from March 20th - 23rd at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham! We'll be showcasing leading air source heat pump solutions from Bosch, Mitsubishi, and Samsung at stand J125 (Hall 9).
As a heating and plumbing installer, you’re likely hearing more and more questions about heat pumps. If you haven’t already, it’s only a matter of time before you do! Below, we explore the growing trend for heat pump installations and why the existing heating industry plays a pivotal role in the technologies adoption.
You've probably heard of heat pumps, but did you know they're here to stay? According to the Heat Pump Association, there has been a “marked increase in heat pump sales over the past six years, with a notable 125% increase in sales between 2018 and 2023, underscoring the rising demand for greener, cleaner heating solutions.”
The plumbing and heating industry is on the brink of a significant transformation, as we have been warning for some time. Last week, it was reported by the Independent that gas boilers are likely to be banned in most new build homes by 2027, as part of efforts to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions. This follows the recent closure of the country’s last coal power plant just a few months ago.
In 2023, Alto Energy soared to new heights! We expanded our warehouse, revamped our heat pump training room, grew our team and achieved record-breaking heat pump sales. As we enter 2024, we’re excited to see the heat pump industry propel forward, advancing heat pump affordability. The recent announcement from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) regarding increased funding suggests an imminent surge in the heat pump market.
At Alto Energy, we are committed to providing a top-notch training experience for heating installers and professionals in the industry. We are thrilled to announce that the expansion of our warehouse means that we can upgrade our heat pump training facility. These developments signify our dedication to delivering exceptional services and training opportunities to heating installers across the country.
The InstallerSHOW is right around the corner and we’re excited to be exhibiting. The exhibition is being held at the NEC in Birmingham from the 27th - 29th June and you can find us at stand A20 during the 3 day event. Our aim is to meet as many heating installers as we can and help those who are interested in expanding their business into the heat pump market.
As the UK seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and switch to renewable energy sources, the use of heat pumps as an alternative to gas boilers is progressing. However, recent studies have shown that there is a skills gap in the installation of heat pumps, and many engineers are not equipped to install them. This article explores the results from the recent study, the need for upskilling engineers and the services we provide to help fill the gap.
