Big news for the heat pump sector!
Last week, members of the Heat Pump Association, Ground Source Heat Pump Association, and Heat Pump Federation voted to merge the Associations into a single, unified Heat Pump Trade Body, which will truly represent the complete heat pump supply chain.
We are aligning to bring together decades of expertise, experience, advocacy, and sector leadership under one clear unified voice.
A unified body means:
✅ Stronger, joined-up representation to government and regulators
✅ Clearer messaging and increased visibility for low carbon heat
✅ Streamlined governance and member services
✅ A single point of contact for industry collaboration and public engagement
Further details on the ‘Merged Association’ will follow in the coming weeks, with the official Launch expected early next year.
'Having received an overwhelming mandate from our members, I am delighted that the GHSPA will be uniting with the HPA and the HPF into one powerful voice for the heat pump sector. For ground source, it means stronger advocacy, clearer messaging, and a seat at every table where low-carbon heating decisions are made.' Emma Bohan, Vice Chair of the Ground Source Heat Pump Association.
'We are delighted to have received a unanimous mandate from our members to deliver a strong, unified Heat Pump Trade Body for the sector. We are in a pivotal time for the UK heat pump market which has shown strong growth over recent years, and it’s time to stand together to collectively navigate the future of heating in the UK.' Mark Wilkins, Chair of the Heat Pump Association.
'The merger of the heat pump trade bodies demonstrates the ambition that the sector has to support Ministers and policy makers in pursuit of an increasingly bold approach to the electrification of heat across the domestic residential, commercial building and industrial markets. Decarbonisation, economic growth and national energy security are interwoven, with heat pump technologies core to all three, and to the country’s long-term prosperity.' Bean Beanland, Director for Growth and External Affairs.
