The government has launched a consultation on expanding the Boiler Upgrade Scheme – and here is expert comment from Russell Dean, Deputy Divisional Manager at Mitsubishi Electric…
He argues that funding, alongside growing the current heat pump installer base, is exactly what’s needed to meet growing demand for renewable energy in UK homes.
“The continued support by government for clean heat, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and training is welcome,” Russell says.
“Better funding models and greater investment in skills are exactly what’s needed to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy in homes. Growing the number of trained heat pump engineers is critical to meeting that demand.
“The drive for installers to upskill is there. Recent research commissioned by Mitsubishi Electric shows that 72% of installers agree that providing greener options to homeowners will help their business to be more profitable.
“Hence, the government’s plan to train 18,000 new installers is a welcome step, not just for the environment, but for the economy too.
“Among those already fitting heat pumps, 73% of installers say they’ve seen higher earnings, more high-value work, or improved profit margins.”
