Meeting heat pump installation targets demands a substantial increase in trained installers by 2028.
Conclusion
We received written evidence from the Retrofit Academy, Schneider Electric, Energy UK and MCS Service Company which highlighted that meeting the target to install 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028 will require a large increase in the number of trained installers. The Heat Pump Association and the Heat Pump Federation estimated that there will need to be at least 33,700 trained installers by 2028 to meet the overall installations target, and a minimum of 50,200 installers by 2030.32
