Daniel Särefjord, Aira UK CEO comments on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme official statistics, published by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, showing that an 81% year-on-year increase in heat pump installations.
Daniel said: “It's encouraging to see an 81% year-on-year increase in BUS applications, as many look to switch to cleaner and more affordable heating solutions. At Aira, we aim to make clean energy-tech more accessible and affordable with monthly payment plans to remove the barrier of high upfront costs, and offer new clean energy tariffs to save customers hundreds of pounds more on their annual energy bills.
Despite our best efforts, we need the new Labour Government to help us secure a fairer deal for the heat pump industry. There are growing calls for the cost of electricity to be brought in line with some of our European neighbours, such as those in Scandinavia, and for unnecessary planning red tape, which has become a bureaucratic burden for businesses and the local authorities, to be removed. In the coming weeks, there are many opportunities for the government to positively impact our sector and move us closer to achieving the country’s national net zero targets - we call for action and eagerly await their next steps.”
