📢 Freedom Heat Pumps Ltd. Announcement 📢 We're currently receiving 30-50 consumer/homeowner enquiries per day for ThermaSkirt, and a significant number are looking to install an air source heat pump. My team are primed with the following response: 📞 "Buy your ThermaSkirt through an installer as part of your heat pump package, that way you get it VAT free!" 📞 Now look, ThermaSkirt isn't necessarily the cheapest thing out there so 20% is not to be sniffed at. Installers in turn want to buy their ThermaSkirt from the same place as they buy their heat pumps, and that's why a number of specialist suppliers are now offering underfloor heating and ThermaSkirt. So why aren't these suppliers offering radiators? Well radiators are a pain to stock in bulk. They're big and heavy and they come in so any shapes and sizes you need a lot of space and a lot of patience to stock and supply them. They're also a commodity product with practically no margin to be had. ThermaSkirt is available is standard lengths of 1.5m, 3.0m and 4.5m meaning that any property or properties can be fitted out with the same SKU profile. With only 6 SKUs you can supply properties of all shapes and sizes. Who will be joining the ThermaSkirt revolution next?! 😄

It's great to see more homeowners across the UK choosing to turn to renewable heating! So far in quarter one of 2024, each month has seen more heat pump installations than in the first quarter of 2023. Registering 4,508 MCS certified heat pump installations, March 2024 was the second highest preforming month in Scheme history. Following the increased Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant value of £7,500 per installation, up from £5,000 in October, voucher applications have been increasing month on month. In a recent BUS data release from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, it showed that the volume of applications received in February 2024, was 75% higher than that of February 2023. #HeatPumps #Data #BoilerUpgradeScheme #DataDashboard #LowCarbonLandscapes #DESNZ

On Tuesday I raised the issue of changing a business model from just selling and installing products to ongoing support. See today’s Post From Installations to Innovation: Why Electrical Engineering Businesses Should Focus on Ongoing Support. This is why one of my clients made the change.  As an electrical engineering business with a £1m turnover, we’ve realised the value of moving beyond just product installations. The future lies in building long-term relationships with our clients through tailored support services that add value, ensure reliability, and create sustainable growth. Here’s why we’re making this shift and how it benefits our clients: What We’re Offering: Preventative Maintenance Contracts: Keeping systems running smoothly with scheduled check-ups and servicing. 24/7 Technical Support: Fast, reliable assistance when our clients need it most. System Upgrades: Helping businesses stay ahead with modernised, efficient systems. Training & Education: Empowering teams to operate systems confidently and effectively. Remote Monitoring: Proactively spotting issues before they become problems. Why This Matters: For Our Clients: Minimised downtime reduced long-term costs, and peace of mind. For Us: Sustainable, predictable growth and stronger partnerships with the businesses we serve. The Big Goal: By transitioning to a service-first model, we’re not just delivering solutions; we’re becoming trusted partners who are there for our clients every step of the way. Whether it’s ensuring compliance, increasing efficiency, or supporting day-to-day operations, we’re excited to help businesses thrive with the power of ongoing support. Let’s Discuss: How does your business ensure long-term value for your customers? Let’s share insights in the comments! If you are not sure how to make this transition for your business get in touch.

🌟 What a lovely review from this customer, who was experiencing unusual boiler pressure drops. This is one of the common indicators that you have a hidden leak in your central heating system. Call us on 01753 378569 if you need help tracking it down! #LeakDetection #CentralHeating #Leak

Really interesting debate on Fabric First and Heat Pumps. As someone who has designed heat pumps that have been installed in uninsulated listed buildings with SCOP's over 3.5 and also someone who works as a Coordinator on large PAS20235 schemes where Fabric First is the regulation... the differences in opinion and need for a nuanced consensus is very obvious. Fabric First works but Heat Pumps also work in all buildings. There needs to be a middle ground that allows for both solutions. This podcast is really worth a listen. As are all of the Betatalk podcasts by Nathan Gambling. Some comments.. Fabric First is PAS regulation. We must follow it on all schemes. Installers are not installing heat pumps because they can't insulate the walls. This is an ongoing 'discussion' Dartmoor Energy constantly challenges. 'Heat Pumps are more efficient in efficient buildings'.. not true. There is industry wide confusion on what 'efficiency' means. Lower running costs and less energy used.. yes. More efficient... that depends on the design. 'Efficient' buildings can have very inefficient badly installed heat pump systems. 'Inefficient' buildings can have very efficient well installed heat pump systems. 'A database on retrofit work to buildings like a building passport.' This is the idea of the Trustmark Data Warehouse. It is being done. As long as it is lodged (must be if using Government funding). Fabric 5th? Fabric 1st? Fabric upgrades where possible.. definitely.. thermal bridge considerations.. DEFINITELY! No one speaks about the embodied carbon of insulation upgrades.. this isn't a data point anyone really looks at. An ongoing debate that needs everyone's attention...
