Produce engagement strategy to build confidence in electric heating for consumers and installers
Recommendation
The Government must produce an engagement strategy to set out the costs and benefits of electric heating and build confidence for consumers, installers and the supply chain. This should include a plan to tackle misinformation and introduce consumer and workforce champions who can share experiences of electric heating systems. Measures must be focused on supporting and encouraging those least likely to be able to afford a transition, low income households. (Recommendation, Paragraph 93)
Government Response Summary
The government states its focus on incentivizing cleaner, affordable heating and has announced measures via the Warm Homes Plan to support investment in heat pumps and energy efficiency, with further details on an engagement strategy to be set out later.
