What systemic issues contribute to the slow uptake of heat pumps in the UK, and how do misleading advertisements exacerbate these problems?

These bans highlight a broader issue of insufficient transparency in heat pump advertising. The government aims for 600,000 annual installations by 2028, but the actual number is far lower—fewer than 100,000 in 2024, according to the Resolution Foundation. Misleading ads exacerbate this slow uptake by creating unrealistic consumer expectations.
