2025 end of year recap

What a year for Heatpunk (and the industry)

2025 has been a year of change for Heatpunk and the wider heat pump industry. We’ve grown our team, delivered new features for installers, and are already working on major updates for the new year.

We’re proud that Heatpunk won Technology Innovation of the Year at the Construction News Specialist Awards, recognised for making air source heat pump design more accessible and for its impact across the industry.

This page gives a snapshot of what’s coming in 2026 and a recap of the updates we’ve delivered this year.

Coming in 2026

We’re continuing to expand Heatpunk’s capabilities to support accurate, transparent design and compliance.

New consumption task (get early access)

We're adding a new consumption task which will help model running costs and benefits of the proposed heat pump system. This will make it easier than ever to help customers understand the potential returns on their investment and give them confidence that their system will be a good long term choice.

  • Benchmark heat pump performance against other energy sources
  • Model how different tariffs affect costs and savings
  • Include benefits when paired with solar PV and battery storage
  • Forecast the long‑term costs and benefits
  • Present clear, data‑driven projections that build confidence in your proposals.

This feature is available for early access now, so if you'd like to give it a try, click here to register your interest.

  • Pipe sizing: Specify sizing and placement of pipework, including velocity & pressure loss calculations.
  • Advanced emitter specification: choose from pre-defined radiator models, towel rails and other heating sources.
  • Support for heat batteries and air‑to‑air systems: to support changes to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

This year we introduced a wide range of updates to improve accuracy, compliance, and usability:
