ICS Heat Pump Technology has reported that more than 150 heat pump installers in the UK have joined its installer scheme in the eight months between the scheme's launch in September2008 and the end of July 2009.
'Interest in heat pumps' says Garry Broadbent of ICS Heat Pump Technology 'is accelerating as consumers seek to find new ways of reducing energy consumption, reducing costs and wanting to explore new avenues of sustainable and renewable energy sources.

Levels of interest from residential and commercial heating engineers, plumbers, construction companies and architects has also risen as they see the economic and environmental benefits of offering heat pump technology alongside or in place of traditional heating methods such as gas, oil and LPG.'

ICS Heat Pump Technology is one of the UK's leading providers of air source, ground source and geothermal heat pumps. The company has a strong relationship with DeLonghi-Climaveneta supplying its heap pump equipment throughout the UK and Ireland on an exclusive basis.

The company's Heat Pump Partner Programme is a professional scheme devised, delivered and managed by ICS Heat Pump Technology to assist companies involved in heating specification to understand heat pump technology and all the various heat pump options available to maximise business opportunities.

Benefits

The programme delivers a number of tangible benefits including marketing support in the form of partner- branded heat pump websites, marketing literature and direct mail information. Product sales training for internal staff and field sales teams, equipment and system specification advice and site surveys on the behalf of partners are also offered.

Installation and commissioning training is offered along with a full technical support service provided by both office and field-based ICS engineering staff.

Garry Broadbent continued: 'We identified a gap in the flow of information on heat pumps from the manufacture to the end user. The partner scheme has bridged this gap by providing installers with all the information they need to speak to other businesses or households about the whole heat pump concept.'
