BEIS analysis indicates that it would be feasible to install heat pumps in most homes, based on their current energy efficiency and internal fuse limits. This is reinforced by the recent Electrification of Heat Demonstration Project, where heat pumps have been successfully installed across all housing types. Performance data from the project will be published in due course.
