With debates hotting up ahead of the #GeneralElection, Electrify Heat has set out our top 5⃣ reasons why the next Prime Minister should make smart, efficient heat a national infrastructure priority #LeadersDebate https://t.co/iIbwehqC04

We're making progress - but there's still a way to go towards clean heat targets. We've set out 8⃣ steps the new government can take to supercharge heat pump deployment

Labour have pledged a new retrofit loan scheme, but what could this look like in practice? @LeoGDVincent’s latest report examines similar schemes from around the world and asks why the UK needs a home upgrade loan scheme, and how one could be designed. https://t.co/OFjLafN0SA

Sustainable, reliable, efficient & clean energy is not optional for our future; we believe they are essential. We are keen to help bust any myths surrounding the current #EnergyDebate. We agree with @ElectrifyHeat's 5 reasons for why smart, efficient heat is a national priority.

All true, and we'd add.. 6. Heat pumps provide improved thermal comfort in the home

Less "rip out your boiler" more "smart, efficient heat" please from tonight's TV debates

Climate change is the most urgent issue of our times: it didn’t even merit a 45-second soundbite in debate on Tue! Heat pumps have a role to play as part of big picture along with upgrading poorly insulated homes to ensure cheaper bills. @RetrofitRuss @ArchitectsCAN @Ed_Miliband

You may have noticed heat pumps got a bit of a rough ride at the last election debate 👀 @electrifyheat has set out a reminder of why heat pumps are GREAT ahead of tonight's BBC election debate with the UK's seven biggest parties 🧵👇

We've set out our clean heat manifesto here:

5⃣ Heat pumps are super-efficient! Heat pumps are at least 3x as efficient as a gas boiler, with the best 5x as efficient. Air source heat pumps are typically 200-400% efficient: meaning you get 2-4kWh of heat for every 1kWh of electricity to run the pump 😲

4⃣ Heat pumps are a major growth & export opportunity! The UK can turn to its boiler manufacturing capability to tap into the booming global market – with the EU targeting 60m installations by 2030.

3⃣ Heat pump costs are coming down! Industry leaders inc @OctopusEnergy, @OVOEnergy, @EDFofficiel & @centricaplc are working to offer attractive consumer offers. @E3G has set out a range of further solutions to reduce & spread upfront costs: https://t.co/fEmLSRcYbS

2⃣ Heat pumps lower bills - with big savings for those switching from oil. Political leaders can slash running costs further by removing levies from electric heat💸 Per unit of energy, levies are almost 8x higher for electricity than gas.

1⃣ Heat pumps are the solution to the gas crisis, boosting energy independence by getting us off fossil fuel imports. Making the switch can insulate households from future gas price spikes, running on clean domestic renewables instead!

With the public increasingly concerned about climate breakdown, clean heat is essential to cut the 14% of UK emissions caused by heating. Heat pumps are the solution🌟Globally, 177 MILLION heat pumps have been installed - working in all climates 🌡️

Brilliant to welcome Shadow Secretary for Energy and Net Zero, @Ed_Miliband, to our Cornwall factory today! 👀 See what Ed had to say about Kensa, heat decarbonisation and UK green job creation when he caught up with our CEO Tamsin.

Great new report from @IPPR highlights that British manufacturers are particularly specialised at making heat pump components - with economic opportunities spread across the UK! https://t.co/Cbm2wOvx0y

Heat pumps mean vital jobs and investment in the British economy, with Aira alone poised to: 💸 Invest £300 million in the UK; 🧑‍🏭 Create 8,000 new jobs; 🎓 Support UK apprenticeships. https://t.co/4mwWfeBXPv

Heat decarbonisation – and how we pay for it – is one of the biggest challenges for 🇬🇧 to get on track for net zero targets. @LeoGDVincent's new report looks at solutions to lower costs & build a mass market 🧑🏾‍🔧
