With the launch of its national Installer Incentive scheme, Daikin is offering MSC certified installers a £250 cash reward for every installation of a Daikin air source heat pump in England, Scotland, or Wales, along with free training, discounts on accreditation and equipment, and commissioning support for initial installations.

The scheme is directly linked to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)* and the Home Energy Scotland Scheme (HESS)*. MCS certified contractors who install eligible products under either BUS or HESS will receive the £250 cash incentive.

The eligible Daikin products are air source heat pumps for England and Wales, and both air source heat pumps and hybrid boilers for Scotland.

Running alongside the Installer Incentive scheme, Daikin provides free local heat pump training in one of its Sustainable Home Centres and £100 off easy MCS accreditation.

In addition to this, new installers will also benefit from 40% off the first heat pump unit purchased at a local centre and commissioning support for the first three air source heat pump installations they undertake.

Commenting on the offer, Henk van den Berg, Daikin’s head of residential business, says: “The £250 incentive is yet another reason for already accredited heat pump installers to choose Daikin’s award-winning range of air source heat pumps for their customers, and the offer will be particularly attractive to gas installers who want to expand their business into renewables too. This will require additional investment and training to future proof their skills, so the £250 bonus per heat pump installation is another great reason to get ready for renewables.”

*   The BUS is an initiative by the UK government that was introduced in Spring 2022 to encourage homeowners in England and Wales to transition from gas or oil heating systems to low-carbon heating systems. The scheme provides a financial assistance of up to £5000 to help cover the initial expenses of installing air source heat pumps. The HESS is a similar scheme in which people in Scotland can receive a grant from Home Energy Scotland for up to £7500 plus an optional interest-free loan for the same amount for energy efficiency and zero emission heating improvements.
