Successful Heat Pump Installation Projects for LAs and Social Housing

About This Workshop Series

Evidence from audits of Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installations across Bristol City Council housing shows that on average, installations have been of poor quality and leading to higher than anticipated energy bills. This stems from a range of issues spanning procurement, design, installation and ongoing maintenance.

This collaboration between Bristol City Council, South WestNet Zero Hubs, and the University of Bristol brings together a national workshop series — offering a frank, 'warts and all' account of the challenges, paired with practical resources to address them.

Who Is This For?

• Local Authority housing officers planning or already delivering heat pump projects (existing housing or new-build)

• Other social housing officers and decarbonisation teams

• Net Zero Hub teams, community groups, and others with an interest in social housing heat pump delivery
