Decarbonising Buildings
Highlights include: The case for mandatory solar; The business case for sustainable buildings; Strategies for achieving net zero buildings; Energy generation for local authorities; The electrification of heat in buildings; Delivering energy security with low-carbon fuels & hydrogen micro-CHP and Improving heat network efficiency.
Knipex 
2023 has seen a number of innovations in hand tools from Knipex, with the company announcing its ‘Spring Update’ product launch back in April. So, it is no surprise that the pliers’ specialist’s stand at Installer 2023 will be crammed with the company’s array of pliers, hand tools and new tool bags.
The Knipex team will be demonstrating and selling tools, perhaps most notably the new products for 2023, including the Modular X18 backpack. This year, installers will also be able to claim a Limited Edition T-shirt when they spend £100 or more, whilst stocks last.
Fergus
If you want to grow your business or even just need help getting invoices off to get paid on time, then the Fergus team will be able to show you how. Despite the challenging economic climate and rising costs, job management software like Fergus can help you grow your business and maximise profits.
At the show, the Fergus experts, including Country Manager James Chillman, and sales team members Tim Lynch and Tom Kearns, will provide hands-on demonstrations showcasing how Fergus can meet the needs of heating and plumbing businesses.
Vaillant
Located at stand F50, visitors can expect to rediscover a familiar flagship product in the Vaillant range, designed with installers in mind – one which the company describes as “definitely not to be missed!” Vaillant’s team of experts will be on hand throughout the show and will be hosting lots of activities on the stand, including discussions on smart home integration and connectivity—what this means for the future and how Vaillant is supporting this.
In addition, installers can get practical tips on diversifying their business, taking the first step into a low-carbon future via Vaillant’s heat pump training offering, together with helpful advice on energy efficiencies and the benefits of utilising our expertise on full heating system solutions.
