IKEA has introduced heat pumps to its UK product range as part of its expanding focus on home energy efficiency.
The heat pumps are offered through partnerships with renewable energy companies Svea Solar and Aira.
By entering the heating market, IKEA aims to provide households with more options to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Expansion of the Ikea sustainable heating range
IKEA's heat pumps are designed to make eco-friendly living more attainable for a wide range of UK homeowners.
Jacqueline Polak of IKEA UK & Ireland said: “Sustainable living should be affordable and accessible. With heat pumps, we’re helping people take meaningful action on climate change – right from their own homes.”
These new systems can potentially cut household CO₂ emissions by up to 75%. The pumps complement IKEA’s existing range of green home products, which include solar panels, battery storage and EV chargers.
UK households could benefit significantly from the new offering. IKEA highlights that up to 70% of installation costs can be covered by current government subsidy schemes, like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, depending on eligibility and location.
