Hybrid heat pumps are not currently eligible as the Government want to direct funding available to technologies that offer the greatest carbon savings, rather than those which would continue to involve the burning of fossil fuels for heating.</p><p> </p><p>Heat pumps are suitable for the majority of UK homes, including off-gas grid and will play an important strategic role in decarbonising existing properties. The Government will keep our position on alternative heating technologies under review and make further assessments as supporting evidence develops.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 05/03/2024 14:16:36 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway
