To do this we need homes to use less energy and ensure that the energy they do use comes from low-carbon sources.

To help reduce the carbon emissions from the UK's homes, we are focusing on the following areas:

• Making heat pumps more affordable across the income spectrum
• Making heat pumps more appealing to consumers
• Building the supply capacity of the heat pump sector
• Helping households use their existing heating systems more efficiently 
• Shifting electricity demand away from peak hours
