Heat pump sector to unite in new unified trade body, HPA UK

Marking a pivotal move for the UK’s low carbon heating industry, members of the Heat Pump Association (HPA), Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA), and Heat Pump Federation (HPF) have officially committed to merge into a single, unified heat pump trade body – Heat Pump Association UK (HPA UK).

Launching in January 2026, this organisation will bring the sector together to provide one powerful voice.  

With heating accounting for approximately 25% of the UK’s carbon emissions in 2023, accelerating the transition to low carbon heating across the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors is vital to reducing carbon emissions but also to deliver cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy to British homes and businesses.  

The merger marks the growth and maturity of the sector, as it readies to play its role in accelerating the deployment of heat pumps and low-carbon heat networks to enhance the UK’s energy security by reducing our dependence on volatile overseas gas markets. 

By streamlining governance and combining decades of expertise, the new body will provide: 

• Strong, consistent representation to Government and stakeholders.
• Clear messaging and greater visibility for heat pumps.
• Streamlined governance and enhanced services for members.
• A single point of contact for industry collaboration and engagement.

To celebrate this unification, the HPA, which will rebrand as HPA UK in January 2026, is offering free membership for the remainder of 2025 to all new members who commit to a membership for the 2026 calendar year. This offer is designed to welcome new voices to the united body ahead of the launch, and showcase the value of the Association.
