Installio, the tech-driven heat pump and clean energy installation specialist, today announces it has raised £1.5 million in seed funding to accelerate national rollout. The round is led by Verb Ventures and is oversubscribed by 2X.
Installio streamlines complex heat-pump installations with real-time project transparency, access to the UK’s best installers and tools, and the highest quality assurance. Now one of the fastest-growing specialist installation providers in the UK, Installio is using this funding to expand nationally to meet growing demand from partners and to develop its next-generation installer platform.
Installio is already partnering with energy providers and retailers like E.ON, Aira, and Good Energy, contractors, housebuilders and housing associations to deliver large-scale clean-energy retrofit programmes with consistent standards and full compliance. In 2025, Installio launched 4 new regions in the South of England with revenue growing 40% month on month and installs doubling every 2 months.
Heat-pump deployment is accelerating across the UK, with installations up 56% last year and the Future Homes and Buildings regulation expected to make heat pumps standard from 2026. Research from Cambridge Econometrics shows that rapid deployment could add £4.8 billion to UK GDP and create more than 80,000 full-time jobs by 2030. Heat pumps also reduce exposure to volatile gas prices and cut harmful air pollution; gas boilers are now the biggest source of NOx emissions in central London.
Government programmes are set to channel more than £13 billion into home-energy retrofits, including heat pumps, over the coming years. Analysis from the Centre for Net Zero shows the heat pump subsidy delivers a strong value of return, generating £1.24 in societal benefits for every £1 of net government cost. But installation capacity remains the key constraint. Heat-pump installs are complex, multi-day engineering projects that require specialist design, commissioning and compliance. Poor-quality installations in recent years have contributed to consumer scepticism, making consistent, verifiable quality the defining challenge of the sector.
Installio’s technology-enabled model addresses this bottleneck directly, acting as the delivery partner that ensures clean-energy systems are installed fast, compliantly, and at scale.
