A new Sustainable Home Centre from Daikin is officially set to open in Nottingham on 14 March, in collaboration with Michael Pavis.
The grand opening of the centre will be celebrated with a launch event. The event is to run from 10am to 2pm, and is open to all.
The event will be attended by Charlotte Lee, CEO of the Heat Pump Association, to mark the centre’s official opening.
James Bruce, operations support at Michael Pavis Nottingham, said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Daikin for the launch of Nottingham’s Sustainable Home Centre. This new centre is dedicated to promoting eco-friendly heating and cooling solutions, providing installers with the essential skills and expertise to meet the increasing demand for sustainable, net-zero options effectively and efficiently.
“We believe this collaboration will play a key role in advancing the adoption of green technologies in the region. The Sustainable Home Centre will serve as a hub for training, innovation, and education, offering hands-on workshops and demonstrations. By equipping installers with latest knowledge and tools, we aim to empower them to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future for homeowners and businesses alike.”
Iain Bevan, commercial manager of Heating & Renewables at Daikin UK, added: “Heat pumps hold immense potential for slashing energy consumption and home bills. Over their 15-year lifespan, transitioning from a fossil fuel boiler to an air source heat pump could yield savings exceeding £3,000 compared to gas boilers, over £6,000 compared to oil, and surpassing £9,000 compared to LPG.
“Our studies reveal that a staggering 68% of homeowners are unaware of the significantly higher energy efficiency of heat pumps over gas boilers. While gas boilers operate at 70-90% efficiency, heat pumps soar between 300-400%. There’s an essential need to educate homeowners about heat pump technology, and our Sustainable Home Centres, like Michael Pavis Nottingham, offer the ideal platform for such endeavours.
“Furthermore, with substantial funding accessible through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, now boosted to £7,500, homeowners have a remarkable opportunity to undertake green energy efficiency enhancements.”
