Heat pumps are central to clean and secure heating, yet adoption remains uneven and is often slowed by concerns about cost, reliability, and complexity. How can communication help bridge this gap? A study by the USERs TCP explored how governments can communicate costs, comfort, and credibility to build public trust and support...

Heat pumps can deliver three to five times more heat than the electricity they consume. However, to fully realise this potential, energy pricing must work in their favour. Today, taxes and levies often tip the balance towards fossil fuels, slowing the energy transition. In a time of volatile fossil fuel...
