Two businesses, Ideal Heating in Hull and Gledhill in Blackpool, have been awarded a combined £5.2 million in government funding to supercharge the production of heat pumps. This investment, part of the government’s Heat Pump Investment Accelerator competition, aims to boost private sector innovation and help the UK transition to low-carbon heating solutions.
What Does This Mean for UK Homes?
Heat pumps are a game-changer for reducing energy bills and cutting carbon emissions. Ideal Heating plans to produce 115,000 air source heat pumps annually by 2030 at their Hull facility, alongside advanced indoor controls. Gledhill, a leading cylinder manufacturer, will produce 120,000 pre-plumbed hot water cylinders every year, ensuring a seamless integration of these efficient systems into homes across the UK.
Jason Speedy, Chief Operations Officer at Ideal Heating, described the funding as a “vote of confidence” that will accelerate their plans for heat pump production. This investment not only supports the UK’s journey toward net-zero but also ensures British homes are equipped with the latest energy-efficient technologies.

Ideal Heating’s production director, John Cook, highlighted the industry’s transformation from coal to gas, and now to low-carbon solutions. This evolution reflects the UK’s commitment to a sustainable future—a vision we’re proud to support by offering free energy efficiency upgrades to homes.
