Members of the Heat Pump Association (HPA), Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA), and Heat Pump Federation (HPF) have officially committed to merge into a single, unified Heat Pump Trade Body; Heat Pump Association UK (HPA UK). The new organisation will launch in January 2026.
Commenting on the announcement, Emma Bohan, Vice Chair of the Ground Source Heat Pump Association said, “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.”
Mark Wilkins, Chair of the Heat Pump Association said, “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.”
Bean Beanland, Director for Growth & External Affairs, said: “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.”
