EDF Heat Pumps has launched a new umbrella scheme, HPIN Direct, designed to make heat pump installation accessible for thousands of installers across the UK.
In partnership with Daikin UK, HPIN Direct has been created with an aim of removing the financial and administrative barriers for small business heat pump installers across the UK.
Clayton Browne, Managing Director at EDF Heat Pumps said: “We often hear there are not enough installers for the demand in heat pumps. With HPIN Direct, we are changing this, opening the door so that we can get thousands more installers trained and installing heat pumps – it’s an exciting opportunity for the industry.”
Through HPIN Direct installers can install heat pumps without becoming MCS certified themselves. HPIN Direct will provide training for local heat pump installers and give them access to Boiler Upgrade Scheme funding for projects.
With HPIN Direct, EDF Heat Pumps will take care of the design and commissioning of heat pump systems, as well as MCS certification and funding applications for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The organisation says there are no monthly or annual subscription fees.
To make the process of designing, securing funding, installing and commissioning heat pumps as easy as possible, EDF Heat Pumps has partnered with Daikin UK.
Iain Bevan, Residential New Business Director at Daikin UK said: “The demand for heat pump installers is growing ever more urgent – with the current shortage of installers holding back heat pump adoption in the UK market. So, it’s great news that HPIN Direct is changing the game. HPIN and Daikin UK will train and develop a network of local installers across the UK, so they can support their local communities and get more heat pumps into UK homes.”
