A new purpose-built training centre has been opened in Exeter by Unitherm Heating Systems, one of the most successful names in renewable heating in Ireland. Local MP for East Devon, Simon Jupp, was on hand to perform the official opening and was happy to share his enthusiasm for renewables and for air source heat pumps in particular:
“It’s great to welcome another new company which offers exciting careers and job opportunities to the area. I’m looking forward to watching the company expand as the take-up of heat pumps increases across the South West. The training aspect of their operation is vital to ensure that we have enough qualified installers in Devon to keep up with demand and I wish them every success.”
With the aim of helping installers take advantage of a growing heat pumps market, Unitherm will supply renewable heating systems and underfloor heating also offers a complete support package from training, design and commissioning.
Heading up the new company is MD Andy Hooper who has extensive experience of the UK heat pump marketplace from his time with Hitachi and LG: “These are exciting times for renewable heating in the UK and the opportunity to join Unitherm and take the lead in introducing a total package approach that is still new to this industry was too good to miss.
“We bring a level of expertise in system design and installation that is unrivalled in the UK and provide a high level of support once the installation is underway, including help with commissioning and the system to make sure it is operating at 100% of its efficiency potential from day one.
“We have ideal premises for our first step into the UK marketplace, on Sowton Industrial Estate in Exeter. They provide impressive, modern offices, along with a sizeable warehouse and a purpose designed centre of training excellence on the first floor that will allow us to begin the process of training installers to take advantage of this huge heat pump revolution. We’re looking forward to welcoming the first group of installers in the next few weeks and plan to run two or three courses a month for the foreseeable future depending on demand.”
