Mr Ord's role will be to lead Qvantum into the futures as a secure energy partner for new developments and retrofitting projects. He has a strong back ground in heating and cooling, most recently at Mitsubishi Electric.

“Qvantum provides innovative heat-pump systems that go beyond traditional offerings. I am certain that Philip will help us fulfill our vision to empower many people to live a life free from fossil fuel dependence,” says Jesper Jarnhäll, head of commercial at Qvantum.

Qvantum provides traditional heat pumps as well bigger systems with heat pumps at their core. A heat pump from the Qvantum new modular platform will in the future be able to help balance the local electricity grid.

“Being part of a company as forward-leaning as Qvantum makes me incredibly excited, stated Ord. “To use the heat pumps as thermal batteries as Qvantum does—both individually and in groups—is, to me, something revolutionary. Who does not want to be part of such a journey?”
