Overall our response to the fuel poverty consultation argues that:

1. Heat pumps needs to play a bigger role,
2. Rebalancing levies resolves the tension between net zero and affordability,
3. Schemes should move away from “worst first” and treat a lot more homes.

As fuel poverty rates remain stubbornly high, we call for a stronger role for low-carbon heat, cheaper electricity through levy reform and a move away from deep retrofits in hard-to-treat homes

3. A visit can be the final push. Many visitors say it gave them the confidence to accept a quote and move forward with installation. It’s the nudge people need to act.

2. Visits make an impact. Visitors report much higher knowledge about heat pumps and increased confidence in making a decision after their visit. Personal, real-life experiences work better than sales pitches
