Daikin UK has opened its first Sustainable Home Centre in Greater London, giving both homeowners and installers a resource for advice and information on air source heat pump technology. Representatives from national and local government attended the launch.
The Centre will give homeowners the opportunity to familiarise themselves with Daikin’s air source heat pump technology and sit down with an expert to discuss the best solution for their home, before being partnered with a trusted local installer. And as an extra bonus for environment, a tree will be planted for every heat pump sold.
As well as winning projects and sourcing products via the Daikin Sustainable Home Centre, installers will be able to access training and resources to help them diversify into renewable heating solutions – and to ensure the long-term competitiveness of their businesses as fossil fuels are phased out.
The Centre has been developed in partnership with The Quantum Group, one of the largest air source heat pump installation companies in London and the South East.
The opening was attended by Lord Callanan, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and Councillor Robert Benham, Deputy Leader of Havering Council.
Iain Bevan, commercial manager – heating & renewables at Daikin UK, comments: “It’s important that homeowners who want to go green can access expert advice and guidance, helping them find the best solution for their household’s heating and hot water needs.
“Being able to explore and discuss heat pump technology in person is vital, as is knowing that it will be installed by a highly-trained professional. We’ve worked with The Quantum Group for 20 years and so we’re delighted that they’re opening a Daikin Sustainable Home Centre today. We’re confident that together, we can make a significant contribution towards our national net zero targets.”
Installers who join Daikin’s Sustainable Home Network can benefit from free, hands-on-tools training at its training centres around the UK, to develop their heat pump installation and commissioning expertise. Other benefits of joining the network include dedicated technical support, sales ready leads, business support and special offers.
