About us
Who we are
This website was developed by Nesta and The MCS Foundation to address the need for reliable and impartial information about heat pumps and the future of home heating.
It is free to use and offers completely independent guidance. On it you’ll find information, tools and guidance to help you learn about heat pumps, choose the right type, estimate costs, understand the installation process, and more.
Nesta
Nesta is the UK's not-for-profit innovation agency for social good. It designs, tests and scales new solutions to society’s biggest problems, changing millions of lives for the better. As one of its main missions, Nesta works to accelerate the decarbonisation of household activities in the UK. Our goal is that, by 2030, the UK will have reduced household carbon emissions by 28 per cent compared to 2019 levels, and that we are on track to reach net zero by 2048.
The MCS Foundation
The MCS Foundation is a UK-registered charity dedicated to advancing a carbon-free future for homes by ensuring access to reliable and affordable renewable energy. Initially founded to oversee the MCS standards scheme, which certifies the quality of renewable energy installations, the Foundation also commissions independent research on decarbonisation to inform policy and decision-making.
