Once the systems are up and running, ongoing support becomes key. In this final step, we look at the importance of aftercare and how Alto Energy continues to support developers and homeowners long after installation is complete.

The government has confirmed a significant uplift in funding for low-carbon heating, doubling the Warm Homes Plan budget to £13.2bn. This renewed commitment will accelerate heat pump adoption across the UK, with direct support for homeowners, housing providers and local authorities.

With solar panels set to become mandatory on all new build homes, the case for pairing them with heat pumps is stronger than ever. Under the government’s Future Homes Standard, new properties must be low-carbon and “net zero ready” — a move that rules out fossil fuel heating. For developers and self-builders, this is a unique opportunity to future-proof homes with efficient, compliant technology that cuts emissions and energy bills. Heat pumps, especially when powered by on-site solar, offer a powerful, cost-effective solution that aligns with both regulation and buyer expectations.
Information, Service
Regular servicing is often overlooked but plays a vital role in keeping air source heat pumps running smoothly. From improved efficiency and reduced running costs to fewer breakdowns in cold weather, the benefits are clear. This blog shares real insights from years in the field, including one costly example where a lack of maintenance led to major system failure. We also explain what’s typically included in a service and how planned maintenance helps extend your system’s lifespan.

Not all MCS umbrella schemes offer the same level of service or accountability. At Alto Energy, we take full ownership of every project we support, from heat loss calculations through to final commissioning. With zero non-conformities in our recent NICEIC audit, our approach proves that doing it right every time delivers results for installers and peace of mind for homeowners.
