Members of the UK’s three heat pump trade bodies have committed to come together into a single association for the sector.
The merger unites the Heat Pump Association (HPA), Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA) and Heat Pump Federation (HPF), and the new body will be called the Heat Pump Association UK (HPA UK). It will launch in January 2026.
To celebrate the amalgamation, the HPA is offering free membership for the remainder of 2025 to all new members who commit to sign up for the 2026 calendar year.
The intended benefits of the move include ‘strong and consistent’ representation to government and stakeholders, a single point of contact for industry collaboration and engagement, as well as ‘clear messaging and greater visibility’ for heat pumps.
The entire assets, liabilities and operations of the GSHPA and HPF will transfer to the HPA, which will then rebrand as HPA UK at the beginning of next year.
Mark Wilkins, HPA chair, and Laura Bishop, GSHPA chair, will co-chair HPA UK until September 2027.
