New horrific forecast by experts pushesenergyprice cap (maximum annual fee) to £ It became clear that it could soar to 4,200 by January. With bills skyrocketing, largely due to soaring wholesale gas costs around the world, governments are rushing to wean countries from this source of energy through alternative means.
Some experts say heat pumps are a low-carbon alternative to gas boilers and could also save consumers from skyrocketing bills. I have.
But staggering installation costs are now hampering deployment, jeopardizing Westminster's goal of deploying 600,000 heat pumps annually by 2028.
To overcome this, the government is offering her a £5,000 subsidy to halve the cost.
However, these taxpayer-funded grants were aimed at 2,000 individual installations and reportedly cost around £10 million.
In response, the non-profit Energy and Utilities Alliance (EUA) has asked governments to target subsidies for other energy efficiency measures in the home to help reduce bills. I am asking for
Energy Savings Trust data claims that providing 19,000 lofts with insulation for £10m will save households £4.8m a year on their bills.
It also saves 8,400 households bills around £2.4 million a year when used for cavity wall insulation.
However, the EUA claims that installing heat pumps in 2,000 homes and reducing carbon emissions by 3,200 tons, he said, would increase household costs by £186,000 annually.
EUA Chief Executive Officer Mike Foster said: Bills are skyrocketing and consumers are suffering.
"When taxpayers pay the middle class to fit heat pumps, when there are better ways to reduce bills for more people and cut greater levels of carbon.

EUA Heats While outraged by the pump plan, the building research institute is urging the government to implement a plan that includes both heat pumps and insulation.
BRE chief executive Gillian Charlesworth told Express.co.uk:
"In our view, a long-term retrofit plan would encourage the government to accelerate the deployment of energy-saving measures, such as insulation and environmentally friendly technologies such as heat pumps, and to draw the public away from renewable energy.
``For example, the government's recent Energy Security Bill includes a £30 million investment to support the production of heat pumps. , included a new effort in the heat pump accelerator competition, which will increase the market value of green technologies like heat pumps and encourage consumer adoption of them in their homes.
