Heat Pump Water Heaters are currently not subject to minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) or any form of mandatory government-issued energy rating label. They will eventually be included in the Equipment Energy Efficiency Programme, but for now Heat Pump Water Heaters are a low priority for Government regulation due to their low volume of sales and relatively high efficiency compared to conventional electric and gas storage water heaters.
