Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made as to whether hybrid heating systems combining boilers with heat pumps are a long-term option for the future of heating in homes, rather than an interim solution in lieu of installing either a hydrogen boiler or heat pump system.
The Heat and Buildings Strategy acknowledged that hybrid heat pumps could play a transitional role in decarbonising heat in homes. The Government plans to use an upcoming consultation to explore the potential future role of hybrid heat pumps.
