The Heat Pump Association of Ireland

Intent: It was mainly an introductory meeting, but I made the case that we were seeking to assist DCEE and SEAI to help to create a quality assurance approach for residential heat pump installations that would simultaneously be workable for installers while enhancing consumer protection.

Intent: The Heat Pump Association of Ireland acceps the need to phase out F-gases, but urged MEPs to consider the implications of the proposed phase downs in terms of meeting Ireland's national targets on heat pump deployment. We therefore hoped to encourage MEPs to vote for proposals that enabled the industry to make an orderly transition away from F-gases, and avoiding a significant potential net increase in CO2 emissions that a new lease of life for the fossil fuel boiler market would bring.
