BEAMA has relaunches its paper, ‘What Should I Do?’, now updated with a new Heat Options Matrix, providing policymakers and industry with a clear framework to identify and support \u2018the good\u2019 in heat electrification. The updated publication strengthens the case for including a wider range of electric heat and hot water technologies across all Government incentive programmes.
\nWith heat pumps already a central focus of Government policy, the Matrix highlights the critical role of flexible thermal storage, and other modern electric heating solutions in delivering a fair and effective Warm Homes Plan. Recognising these technologies not only ensures that the 20% of homes deemed unsuitable for heat pumps are not left behind but also provides a pathway to unlock up to 10GW of flexibility by 2030, far above current projections.
\nBEAMA has outlined to DESNZ and the Warm Homes Plan team that by following the recommendations in this updated paper, customers can benefit from:
\nImmediate energy bill savings through greater system efficiency and storage-based flexibility
\nLong-term value from time-of-use tariffs and grid services that only storage-backed solutions can provide
\nThe challenge for Government remains clear:
\nUse the Matrix to identify and endorse the most efficient, flexible, and scalable technologies, preventing mis-selling and reducing reliance on outdated systems
\nAdvocate independent advice at the local level to guide customer choice
\nMove quickly on VAT reform and electricity price rebalancing, ensuring inclusivity across all \u2018good\u2019 heat technologies
\nEnsure fuel-poor households are not excluded from modern, efficient solutions that can deliver immediate benefits<\/p>\n

\u201cBy adding the Heat Options Matrix to What Should I Do?, we are equipping Government, industry, and households with the clarity needed to make the right choices. The political message is simple: provide viable and sustainable options for every home and help consumers answer the question \u2018what should I do?\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
