GSHP expert
The electrifi cation of heat in the decarbonisation of buildings remains a key priority for the UK. It is an opportunity to boost the British economy and create thousands of green jobs.
T
he government is committed to making the UK one of the largest markets in the world for heat pumps. To meet the ambitious target of
600,000 installations per year by 2028, thousands of skilled installers will be required to help the sector undergo its rapid growth. Analysis by the Heat Pump Association1 suggests that at least 50,200 installers will be needed by 2030, based on the deployment of 1 million heat pumps. If a sizeable proportion of these heat pumps were manufactured in the UK, it is estimated that a further 15,000 (high-paid) jobs would be created. If a sizeable proportion of these heat pumps were ground source rather than air source, up to 25,000 additional jobs would be created in infrastructure provision.

Kensa Heat Pumps, the UK’s only manufacturer of ground source heat pumps, recognises that installers are integral in the transition to low- carbon heating and is continually building a network of trusted, recommended and experienced installers across the country.
