A new training centre and showroom has been opened by Stiebel Eltron at its UK headquarters in Bromborough, Wirral. The 280m2 training facility has the capacity to accommodate up to 16 trainees at any one time and has been fitted with the company’s latest heat pumps.

Visitors will be able to benefit from valuable hands-on-experience on a range of ground and air source heat pumps, available in different models to meet the needs of a range of applications, including commercial settings, houses, or flats.  

As well as training installers, Stiebel Eltron says it is committed to providing them with a package of post-training which ensures that technical support is available to them and their customers throughout the duration of any installation or project, not just at the point of purchase. 

MD Mark McManus comments: “It’s a really exciting time for the heating industry with demand for heat pumps only increasing. As a result, the UK is going to need the best installers possible. 

“We started this project with the goal to create a training area which is second to none and inspires people to become heat pump installers. We’re pleased to say we’ve delivered this with a state-of-the-art facility which covers everything needed for prospective installers to learn their trade. 

“But it’s our support package which really sets it apart. Not only do we ensure all trainees are equipped with the expertise and knowledge to excel in the industry, we make sure everyone on our courses receive technical support and advice which goes well beyond their training so they can meet any challenge in their line of work head-on.”

The company has invested £350,000 into the new facilities and reports that it has achieved a 70% increase in heat pump sales compared to last year.
