Heating and cooling

More than 700 homes in New York will get electric-powered heating and cooling tech during the next two years thanks to a scheme from the NYC Housing Authority.

Sales of heat pumps have risen by 27% in the UK, according to new data from the UK Heat Pump Association (UKHPA). 125,037 units were sold in 2025, much higher than the 98,345 sold in 2024. “To achieve 450,000 heat pumps installed per year by 2030, in line with the target set out in the Warm Homes Plan, the market would need to see 33% compound growth in heat pump sales year on year,” the UKHPA says.
