Heat Pump Association expands membership to installers

The Heat Pump Association (HPA) has opened its membership to installers at The Installer Show to offer them a voice in shaping the future of the industry.

Phil Hurley, chair of the HPA

As an exclusive offer for those registering their interest at the Installer Show, membership of the new Installer category will be free for the rest of 2022, and a 50% discount for 2023. Installers can sign up at the HPA stand, A195.

Recognising the important role the installer will play in transforming Britain’s heating, the HPA seeks to give them influence as the industry embarks on an exciting journey of unprecedented growth. The HPA wants to hear from installers about quality, training, certification, accreditation, competencies, customer service and their perspective on how to ensure the rapid rise in heat pump sales takes place in a way that gives the consumer confidence and affordability. It will also seek to expand its membership benefit offerings to installers following feedback from early-joiners.

The HPA has set up a dedicated forum for heat pump installers where they can air their views and help shape the HPA’s policy on a range of key issues affecting the industry.

Welcoming the launch, Phil Hurley, chair of the HPA said: “Heating installers will play a major role in delivering the transition to heat pumps and mentoring younger installers to become the workforce of the future. Training courses, qualifications, support schemes, apprenticeships, and clear requirements for installers will all feature in creating a high-skill heat pump installer workforce.

“By the end of the decade, 1m heat pump installations per year and a £5bn market could be a very real prospect – but only if we carry and support the installer. The HPA wants to give them a voice and real influence. Today’s 130,000+ heating installers and young people embarking on apprenticeships will make a significant contribution to the Government’s wish to see 480,000 high-skilled jobs powering the Green Industrial Revolution. The HPA wants to give every installer the best chance of playing a part.”
