Stiebel Eltron UK has announced the launch of a tailored Heat Pump Workshop designed exclusively for gas installers. The company said the workshop follows the growing demand for renewable energy solutions.
The first in-person course will be held on 16 and 17 August 2024 at Stiebel Eltron’s head office in Bromborough, with webinar versions available for those who are unable to travel.
According to Stiebel Eltron, the programme includes myth-busting segments that debunk common misconceptions about heat pumps, ensuring installers are well-equipped with factual, up-to-date knowledge.
The course is designed to address the needs of gas installers, offering practical insights and hands-on training that will enable them to confidently install and maintain heat pump systems, it noted.
During the workshop, trainees will look at the difference between a gas boiler and a heat pump system, closely following hydraulic and electrical diagrams, and installation methods, as well as correctly sizing a heat pump for the property and why this is important.
The course will also provide trainee installers with knowledge to service and repair heat pumps, including how to commission a heat pump.
Additionally, it will also provide an overview on the difference between air source and ground source heat pumps and how pre-plumbed cylinders can decrease installation time.
