Heat as a ServiceOpportunity to unlock better consumer experiences and drive uptake of low carbon technologies
Heat as a Service could unlock low carbon heat…
Could Heat Plans help ‘sell’ low carbon heat?
Preferred the idea of a heat pump
bundled with a heat plan vs. 23% for
a heat pump alone
Would services be a more popular approach to decarbonising heat?
were positive to energy services vs.
38% for a home improvement loan,
30% for a boiler ban and 22% for a carbon tax
Does experience of a Heat Plan make people open to low carbon heat?
of people who bought heat plans were
open to alternatives to gas when
replacing their boiler (vs. 1/3 for
people who have not)
People with experience of Heat Plans were more likely to want a heat pump
<0.1% of people who read an on-line
advert wanted a free heat pump
compared with >15% of people
who stayed on the trial
