City Plumbing has become a member of the UK’s Heat Pump Association (HPA), the trade association committed to accelerating the deployment of heat pumps UK-wide.
The HPA acts as a central point for the exchange of knowledge and information on all things relating to heat pumps and liaises with the Government directly on behalf of its members. It also works to inform the public and the wider HVAC industry about the benefits of heat pumps to encourage adoption.
Dave Evans, CEO at City Plumbing said: “By joining as members, we hope to bring a new outlook to the HPA, with a strong understanding of the supply chain and the challenges and concerns of the installer base.
“Joining the HPA demonstrates our unwavering commitment to supporting the transition and adoption of renewable technologies and low temperature heating in the UK.”
Hemal Morjaria, Managing Director of City Plumbing’s Renewables and Electrical division, added: “Installers are the ones who will make the Government’s commitment to net zero a reality. I’m pleased to be able to join the HPA and champion the voice of our installers to drive positive changes for both those who are already installing heat pumps and those with the potential to become heat pump installers.
”Since the start of 2023, we’ve helped over 350 plumbing and heating engineers become accredited heat pump installers in partnership with GTEC Training. Joining the HPA is another important step for City Plumbing in actively supporting the adoption of renewable technologies.”
Earlier this year, the merchant opened its second specialist Renewables Centre in Basildon and also recently ran a series of Electrification of Heat events giving installers access to a broad suite of renewable products and support on installation.
