Recent government figures show just how much the Low Carbon market is expanding across the UK.
At James Hargreaves, we are committed to enabling and supporting the next generation of heating engineers with both practical experience and products. At the forefront of this is our Low Carbon Team who can provide both specialist skills and practical experience for those wanting to capitalise on the growing interest and investment in heat pumps within the UK.
Helping make the country greener by encouraging a switch to low-carbon products, our Low Carbon Team provides design services for trade installers, guidance, and advice on training.
"Applications for heat pump grants are up 39% on January 2023"*
Support grants for heat pumps were increased by 50% last October making them one of the most generous grants in Europe. Due to that applications for them grants have increased by 39% when compared to figures from January 2023. As an approved Low Carbon supplier our team not only supplies heat pumps for the scheme but they also train heat pump engineers as part of their MCS accreditation.
"Increase of 166% of individuals who have completed training to become qualified heat pump installers"**
An increase in heat pumps being installed goes hand in hand with more installers needing to be trained. This growing investment and interest within the Low Carbon sector is shown by the number of individuals qualified to install heat pumps significantly increasing. In the last 2 years just shy of 11,000 individuals have fully qualified as installers, this is heavily reliant on support from government grants and training providers like ourselves.
All our courses are geared towards kitting you out with all the information and techniques required for successfully installing and maintaining various types of heat pumps. MCS advice and information, as well as submittal documentation, is available for those courses where it is applicable for the course. With 5-star reviews from those who have previously attended, all sessions are presented in our custom-built Low Carbon Centre where you can gain hands-on experience.
