A pivotal part of an air source heat pump installation is the customer handover. This procedure involves the installing engineer showing their customer how their new heat pump works and demonstrating the parts of the system an end-user needs to understand in order to achieve and maintain the desired comfort levels with their heating and hot water. To support this key stage, Grant UK has developed a Handover Guide for their Aerona³ air source heat pumps which will be supplied with each unit alongside the installation manual and will support the installer onsite with their handover processes.
David has extensive experience across the energy industry which has included communications and business advice. He will join AREG on October 1 following nine years with Shell.
Air, ground, and water source heat pumps are one of the most effective technologies for reducing carbon, and with a potential 500% efficiency, they are a great solution for projects of all sizes.
Offering a broad portfolio of solar components for residential and small commercial PV plants and EV chargers, the German B2B online marketplace is well-positioned to support Ireland in its energy transition.

Much like the first, the videos will help to answer homeowners’ questions on what heat pumps are and why they are a great alternative to traditional fossil fuel systems.
The new all stainless-steel range of low loss headers in sizes 13ltr and 20ltr for wall mounting, provide an A class energy rating and come as standard with a 10-year warranty.
This diversification in the market brings new opportunities as well as challenges for installers and consumers. Vaillant believes there must be an urgent increase of support for installers in the industry to expand their skills to accommodate heat pumps if the Government’s target of 600,000 heat pumps sold per annum by 2028 is to be met.
In response to a recent Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report which warned the lack of accredited tradespeople will jeopardise heat pump installation targets, Griff Thomas from GTEC has urged heating installers to seize training opportunities and become part of the decarbonisation solution.
For more than 20 years in the UK, the programme has been celebrating the UK’s most exciting entrepreneurs and business leaders. Recognising their ambitious journeys, disruptive thinking and commitment to making a positive impact on the economy, each finalist has been chosen for their relentless drive to bringing new innovations to market.
The industry body will make the claim during the launch of its roadmap, titled Lighting the way, outlining the roll oit of solar projects over the next eight years. The report urges Westminster to set out policy and regulatory changes for the solar sector, which would allow the industry to deliver 40GW of operational capacity.

Beginning on 17th June, Heat Pump Month provides a month-long series of free-to-attend online events aimed at bringing together housing, built-environment, policy and installation professionals. The first event takes place at 4pm-8pm on 17th June where attendees can access a team of industry experts including one of Panasonic’s low carbon experts, Tony Lathey.
Boris Johnson’s 10-point-plan for a ‘green industrial revolution’ promised to create 250,000 jobs in the UK. With the end in sight for new gas boilers within the next 5 years, and with alternatives such as heat pumps seemingly favoured by government, 10,000 heat pump installers will be needed by 2025 to achieve the carbon emission target. According to EY, there are, currently, only around 1,200 installers qualified to do this in the UK.
Facilitated by Low Carbon Homes, there are a number of events taking place throughout June and July. Each event is hosted by influential partners and guided by an advisory board of stakeholder representatives to determine event outputs and programme content in order to support the next steps of scaling up heat decarbonisation, locally.
Connecting multiple buildings via a series of insulated pipes to distribute low carbon heat is not a new concept, and neither is the use of heat pumps to provide the heat source. However, the sector is starting to see these two technologies come together on a more regular basis.
With the intention of developing a solar PV learner curriculum, the Solar Skills London project aims to create a series of introductory workshop for potential new solar industry trainees.
The PV installations were installed under the Local Authority Delivery of the Green Homes Grant, the only segment of the scheme that is both still running and that PV is eligible for.
Warmth may also be taken out of rivers, the sea, and old coalmines using heat pumps whilst heat from industries and incineration could be captured and piped to homes, hospitals, schools and offices.
The training academy at Grant UK’s head offices in Wiltshire, has been established for almost two decades and during that time, the premises have been adapted to meet the ever-changing training requirements of heating engineers. Starting out providing oil boiler training and OFTEC qualification and assessments, the academy later expanded to offer a comprehensive selection of courses on renewable heating systems. Today, air source heat pump courses are the most popular with over 700 installers and heating engineers completing heat pump training through the academy within the last two years.
