Heat Pump Federation

What Heat Pump Federation does

HPA UK (legal entity: Heat Pump Association Limited, registered in England and Wales) is the independent trade association representing the UK heat pump industry. It was formed in 2026 from the merger of the Heat Pump Association, the Ground Source Heat Pump Association, and the Heat Pump Federation, bringing together more than 400 members across manufacturers, installers, energy companies, training providers, and partners under a single sector-wide body headquartered in Reading, Berkshire.

The organization does not build or sell heat pump technology; its core deliverables are policy advocacy, industry data, technical resources, standards support, working groups, forums, and a calendar of industry events. It engages directly with UK government and regulators — including formal responses to the Seventh Carbon Budget and DESNZ deployment statistics — and operates consumer- and workforce-facing programmes such as National Heat Pump Week and installer-skills advocacy. The association owns proprietary sector statistics, including 125,000+ UK heat pump sales in 2025, a 1-in-3 share for UK-manufactured units, and a projected £10.3bn economic contribution by 2035 from residential space heating.

HPA UK is structured as a private limited company (Company No. 13409239) with no parent, public listing, or institutional funding identified. Revenue is derived from membership fees across its five member segments, with financials not publicly disclosed. The entity's commercial model is therefore association-based: dues-funded, value-delivered through collective representation rather than transactional product sales, and dependent on retaining a broad cross-value-chain membership base to maintain its position as the sector's authoritative voice.

Direct peers

• Renewable Energy Association (REA): UK trade association representing renewable energy producers and heat decarbonisation technologies. Comparable as a UK policy-facing trade body whose heat and renewables remit overlaps with HPA UK's heat pump advocacy.
• Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry Board (ACRIB): UK trade association representing the air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pump industry. Directly comparable as a UK trade body with heat pump representation, though its scope is broader across cooling and refrigeration.
• Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC): UK trade body representing the heating and hot water industry, including boiler, heat pump, and hot water technology providers and installers. Comparable as a UK-based trade association serving the broader heating sector, with overlapping installer and manufacturer membership.
• Heat Networks Industry Association (HNIA): UK trade body representing heat network operators and suppliers. Comparable as a UK trade association focused on a specific heat decarbonisation technology, with overlapping goals around low-carbon heating and policy engagement.
• Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE): UK trade association for the decentralised energy sector, including heat networks, combined heat and power, and heat pumps. Comparable to HPA UK as a UK policy-facing trade association whose membership and advocacy frequently intersect with HPA UK's heat pump and energy systems agenda.

Emerging players

• Daikin UK: Major global heat pump manufacturer with significant UK presence and likely HPA UK member. Comparable as a participant in the UK heat pump sector that HPA UK represents, though commercially focused rather than an industry body.
• Mitsubishi Electric Living Environmental Systems UK: Major manufacturer of heat pump and HVAC systems in the UK and likely HPA UK member. Comparable as a key commercial participant in the heat pump sector the association represents.

Regional players

• European Heat Pump Association (EHPA): Brussels-based trade association representing the European heat pump industry across manufacturers, installers, and component suppliers. Directly comparable to HPA UK as a sector trade body, but operating at a pan-European level and engaging with EU institutions rather than UK government.
• Energy UK: UK trade association for the energy industry, representing energy suppliers, generators, and service companies. Comparable as a UK energy-sector trade body engaging government on policy, with energy companies among HPA UK's members likely overlapping with Energy UK membership.

Others

• Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE): UK professional body for building services engineers, including heating and HVAC disciplines. Comparable as a UK standards-setting body whose technical guidance and workforce competency frameworks intersect with HPA UK's installer training agenda.
