Fall in UK installers fitting heat pumps and solar panels
This comes from a study by Wavin, which found a sharp 10% drop between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) installers working on heat pumps, from 60% to 50%. This trend is seemingly fuelled by a shortage of skills, with just half (49%) of UK installers able to fit heat pumps, compared to 83% of their German counterparts.
Wavin has launched a new installer network, helping professional installers and developers deliver energy-efficient and lower-carbon homes with the introduction of Future Homes Standard.
