The Heat Pump Association (HPA) is highlighting the range of sector support available for newly qualified heat pump installers offered by its members.
The infographic outlines the types of support available from manufacturers, distributors, training providers and installation businesses, as well as feedback from respondents on the effectiveness of current support and plans for future initiatives.
This follows the recent government announcement of an additional £5 million in funding to extend the Heat Training Grant until March 2026, which will support training for a further 5,500 heat pump installers and 3,500 heat network professionals.
Whilst gaining a qualification is an important first step, the organisation says that further support is essential to help new installers build confidence, gain practical experience, and maintain high standards of heat pump installation when working in UK homes and businesses.
The infographic offers a high-level view of the types of support currently in place across the sector – aiming to help inform ongoing conversations about how to build a strong heat pump workforce.
Laura Thomas, Chair of the HPA Training Working Group said: “It is vital that we have a skilled and confident workforce to deliver the growth in heat pump deployment needed to reach the Government’s carbon reduction targets.”
