Today Aira launches in the UK with a pledge to invest £300 million in the next three years to accelerate decarbonisation. The company’s ambition is to serve five million households across Europe, of which one million are in Britain, with affordable clean energy-tech solutions to take Europe off gas. Aira will reduce the UK’s CO₂ emissions to the equivalent of taking two million cars off the nation’s roads.

The UK still relies on 25 million fossil fuel boilers to heat homes, these account for 16 percent of the nation’s CO₂ emissions. Switching to an air source heat pump substantially reduces household heating costs and carbon emissions. With Aira’s innovative and accessible solutions, households save 25 percent on their heating related costs while simultaneously reducing CO₂ emissions by 75 percent.

The Government’s mission is to increase heat pump uptake to 600 000 installations a year by 2028 to reduce the nation’s reliance on expensive, imported fossil fuels. Aira Chairman, Harald Mix, is set to lay out Aira’s pledge to decarbonise the UK at the Global Investment Summit today.

Aira offers an ecosystem of clean energy-tech solutions, including intelligent heat pumps, solar panels, battery storage, and electricity tariffs. With a complete Aira ecosystem solution, UK households can save over 55 percent on energy related costs, including the product investment while reducing CO₂ compared to current fossil fuel solutions. Aira makes the switch affordable and accessible, with a unique offering comprising an all-inclusive plan, a 10-year Comfort Guarantee, and a 30-day order to installation commitment – with zero upfront cost.

Today Aira UK is a team of 200 employees, consisting of Clean Energy Experts and supporting roles, with 600 employees globally. Since its global launch in June 2023, Aira has acquired Sheffield based All Seasons Energy, a renewable energy specialist, leveraging their local expertise and knowledge. To accelerate rapid growth, Aira is investing in two Aira Academies, one in London and one in Yorkshire, that will train thousands of Clean Energy Experts, helping drive their goal to serve one million UK homes and build the clean energy workforce of tomorrow.

We are here to accelerate the important transition from dirty gas boilers to clean heat pumps

“The UK is a crucial market to decarbonise, being one of Europe's most populated countries and with the lowest heat pump penetration rate of just 1%. We are excited to introduce Aira's innovative home energy solution in the UK, and we are confident that our offering and value proposition, which includes substantial consumer cost savings, no need for lifestyle changes, and a zero upfront payment model, will be well-received. We are here to accelerate the important transition from dirty gas boilers to clean heat pumps,” says Carl-Erik Lagercrantz, board member of Aira.
