Priding itself on being ‘more than just a heat pump manufacturer’, Qvantum’s ambition is to heat the cities of Europe using affordable renewable technology, alongside a commitment to generating positive change in electricity grid balancing.

Qvantum UK CEO Phil Ord said: “We believe our unique heat pump solutions genuinely bring something new to the UK and can provide the impetus to redirect the way we consume energy to service the needs of the domestic heating and hot water market.

“A big part of the challenge is to harvest and store renewable energy when it is plentiful, often in excess of what we actually need, and use it when demand increases above the generating capacity of the grid. Qvantum is here to help shift that peak.’’

Qvantum’s business model has seen it invest heavily in technical and aftersales support personnel before product development, ensuring that the pain points of the heat pump and energy sectors have been identified before deciding how to address them and with what products. A modular design concept means that 80% of components are shared across the product line, including the unique integrated QH water tank shared across all three ranges, which is used as a thermal store and charged like a battery.

Training is provided in-house with an online platform as well as face-to-face at Qvantum’s dedicated training room at its Moorgate offices.

Guests at the launch were able to explore the training facilities and product line-up, following presentations from Phil Ord and Qvantum UK colleagues Darren Manley (Technical Sales Director) and Geoff Turton (Aftersales Technical Director). Further background was provided by Thomas Nowak, former Secretary General of the European Heat Pump Association, who is now Qvantum’s VP of Government Relations and Public Affairs.
