Air-to-air heat pump research discussion: register interest

Information

Nesta's Sustainable Future team is doing a short piece of research into considering the wider use of air-to-air heat pumps to help accelerate the reduction of emissions from homes in the UK.

As part of this research, we'd like to interview the following people:

Individuals living with an air-to-air heat pump
Heating/cooling engineers that install air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pump manufacturers
Other experts in the home heating or decarbonisation sector

If you fit one of the above descriptions and are able to take part in a 45 minute conversation between 19 February and 5 March, please complete the form below to register your interest in an interview.

Individuals living with an air-to-air heat pump and heating/cooling engineers will be thanked for their time with a Love2Shop voucher. More details on this will be shared after you register your interest.

Background information
We’re currently working on a brief research project to develop a better understanding of how air-to-air heat pumps may play a role in reducing emissions from homes in the UK.

Amongst other issues, we're interested in understanding:

how the experiences of households researching, installing and living with an air-to-air heat pump may differ from air-to-water heat pumps
how the challenges of increasing the number of qualified and skilled installers may differ between these two technologies
whether there are differences in house type or lifestyle suitability for each technology's use
the broader challenges that the sector is currently facing with regard to air-to-air heat pumps, and what challenges may emerge if a greater focus was placed on air-to-air heat pumps as a route to decarbonisation.
