With the Future Homes Standard set to drive mass heat pump adoption from 2026, the focus is on making homes ready - both new builds and retrofits. In this keynote, we will examine how simplifying the transition, providing clear information, and making solutions affordable will be key. Collaboration across industries will scale adoption, with Hive Home at the heart of this shift, helping customers cut carbon, save costs, and take control of their energy.
This panel will explore how businesses can prepare for the Future Homes Standard and be ready to meet the demand. Industry leaders will discuss the challenges and opportunities in scaling up heat pump adoption, from overcoming barriers to scaling up supply chains and ensuring affordability, ensuring new and existing homes are ready for a low-carbon future.

Domestic customers often don’t know if their fuse and cable can handle the extra demand from low carbon technologies. Delays in necessary upgrades can impact the customer experience, especially in“distress purchase” scenarios. This session will explore an innovation project that shares data with customers, installers, and suppliers to increase awareness of required upgrades and provide upfront visibility to enhance the customer experience.
Decarbonising heating will need the full range of heating technologies available. It is increasingly clear that ground source heat will play a vital role in meeting this challenge. Deployed through shared and ambient loop networks, GSHPs will play a particularly important role in denser urban areas and in homes with limited space. Critically, the combined use of geothermal and waste heat sources provides the opportunity for super-high efficiencies and super-low energy bills. This keynote explores why shared and ambient loop networks are the next big step in heating and what policy is required to unlock their potential.
This panel will explore collective strategies for driving change and making heat pumps more accessible. Experts will address key challenges in the sector, including the reasons behind installer hesitance. The discussion will focus on practical solutions for scaling adoption, integrating new technologies to replace manual processes, and improving installation efficiency, all while ensuring affordability for households. Join us as we uncover strategies to unlock the full potential of heat pump adoption and delivery.

Heat pumps are key to decarbonising home heating, but a combination of high electricity prices, the perpetuation of heat pump myths and policy uncertainty are slowing adoption.
This panel will tackle some of these issues - from pricing and consumer trust to boiler phase-outs and grid capacity - and explore solutions to accelerate the transition. Join us to uncover what’s needed to ramp up the heat pump rollout.

The UK’s path to decarbonisation starts at home, and with social housing making up 20% of the market, delivering heat pumps fairly and efficiently is essential. This panel will explore how to roll them out equitably, ensuring affordability, accessibility, and long-term success. Experts will discuss how to manage and service these systems post-installation while empowering residents to use them effectively.
