ASHPs Natural Next Step For Traditional Boiler Installers

Andy Royle, Director and Co-founder of Leads 2 Trade, says boiler companies must move into ASHPs to future proof their business.

With the government phasing out gas boilers and the heating industry undergoing a major transition, traditional fossil fuel boiler installers are facing a critical crossroads, but also a golden opportunity.

Homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of air source heat pumps (ASHPs) thanks to the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which offers grants of up to £7,500 to eligible households in England and Wales to transition to low carbon technology heating systems.

As winter sets in and heating systems are pushed to their limits, many consumers will need their boiler replacing or upgrading and ASHPs are proving an attractive option. At Leads 2 Trade, we’ve seen a 316% increase in ASHP quote requests through our platforms compared to the previous year.

For heating engineers and boiler installers rooted in fossil fuel systems, the shift may feel daunting, but it’s also a natural evolution and can put traditional installers in a strong position to offer both fossil fuel and renewable solutions to future-proofing their business. We’re even seeing traditional solar companies moving into ASHP.

ASHPs, and the likes of solar, are no longer niche options, they’re becoming mainstream. And with demand rising, margins strong, and government support locked in until at least 2028, now is the time for traditional fossil fuel boiler installers to diversify their offering.

At Leads 2 Trade, we’re already helping heating professionals connect with homeowners actively looking for ASHPs. We generate double-qualified sales leads, making it easier to take advantage of the growing renewable energy market.
