Press Release

Homeowners in Somerset have the chance to win a heat pump and installation worth up to £15,000 with Thermly

16th Septemeber 2024: Green tech company, Thermly, announces the launch of a Somerset-wide competition, giving one lucky homeowner the chance to win a heat pump and installation, worth up to £15,000. Four runners up will also receive £9,500 towards their heat pump installation through the Thermly platform.

The competition launches on 16th September 2024 and will run until midnight on 11th October 2024

To enter, homeowners must head to www.thermly.co.uk/winaheatpump and complete the simple form to enter. Details of the process, and all the applicable terms and conditions, can be found there too.

Once the competition closes, Thermly will email all eligible entrants to complete a heat pump readiness test, before a randomly selected shortlist of five households are notified that they have made the final stage. A survey will be carried out at all five homes, and then a winner picked at random. Each of the four runners up will benefit from £9,500 towards the cost of their installation.

Entries must be submitted by midnight on 11th October 2024.

Gareth Robertson, co-founder of Thermly, said: “We are excited to announce this competition for homeowners across Somerset. Our data has found that a significant proportion of all homes in the Somerset region are suitable for the installation of a heat pump. We want to make it easy and affordable for all homeowners to make planet positive decisions and are delighted to be able to bring this first ever heat pump competition to the Somerset area.”

Heat pumps are an energy efficient, low carbon way to heat homes and futureproof them for years to come. Last year over 60,000 heat pumps were installed in the UK, and the government has ambitions to increase this to 600,000 per year by 2028.

The main prize to win a new heat pump and installation worth up to £15,000, as well as the runner up prizes, all include the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Grant, which will be applied for on behalf of the resident through the process.

What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is a technology that is used to heat your home, instead of a conventional boiler. The proven technology used for heat pumps has been around for decades, making them a tried and tested way to heat homes in an energy efficient way, using small amounts of electricity to extract, move and enhance the heat that’s already in the air or ground - into your home. Heat pumps are three to five times more efficient – for every kWh of electricity used, heat pumps should generate 3kWh of heat for your home. This lowers your carbon emissions, removes reliance on fossil fuels like gas and oil, which is much better for the environment.
