Daikin UK has announced the launch of two new Sustainable Home Centres, taking its national network up to 30.
A new centre has opened in Warminster in partnership with local renewable energy solutions provider Ecobubl. The Viva Training is also up and running in Halifax.
Amid growing demand for heat pumps, boosted by the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and removal of VAT on heat pumps, homeowners throughout the country can use the Sustainable Home Centres to familiarise themselves with air source heat pumps.
Installers can also access free local training and resources to help them diversify into renewable heating solutions, the company said.
Iain Bevan, commercial manager heating & renewables at Daikin UK, said: “It’s never been more important that homeowners who want to go green can access expert advice and guidance, helping them find the best solution for their household’s heating and hot water needs. And the need for installers to train on sustainable technologies is paramount.
“Collaboration is key on the road to net zero, and our Sustainable Home Centres act as hubs where we all come together to drive progress. We’re proud to be supporting the Viva Training and Ecobubl in opening these important new additions to our strong and successful network.”
Richard Firth, MD of Viva Training, one of West Yorkshire’s leading heating and installer training providers for the building services sector, added: “Partnering with Daikin means we’re not only able to support homeowners and provide them with the best products in the market; we can also offer training to installers, create new job opportunities in the area and help make our national carbon reduction goals more achievable. We were incredibly pleased to welcome the Mayor of Halifax to our launch, helping us to kick-start our exciting next chapter.”
