HANDS-ON TRAINING Floortherm’s training facilities include two working Daikin heat pump units as well as a range of demo units, so installers get hands- on experience working with the products. “We also have working models of Vent Axia heat recovery units to provide training on balancing and commissioning of the heat recovery system,” added Niall. “Technology advances in this sector all the time; and by providing these courses, Floortherm can train and give installers the tools to stay on top of industry changes.” FORWARD LOOKING Floortherm is growing from strength to strength, performing strongly even during the Covid-19 lockdowns. “We are lucky that our product range allows us to expand into both the new build and retrofit market,” explained Niall. “For example, the new Daikin’s Altherma HHT unit can work with existing piping and radiators and entirely replace an existing oil boiler. “Renewable heating is an exciting industry to be in,” concluded Niall. “We’ve come through the Covid-19 in a strong position, thankfully, and we hope that it continues to go that way.”

site training and commissioning assistance to all installers.” Floortherm’s Sustainable Home Centre training facilities will host the company’s free installer courses, delivered at three levels: basic, advanced and service partner. “If you’ve never installed a heat pump before or if you have a long list of installations under your belt, this market is constantly developing, so there is much to learn at all levels of proficiencies,” said Niall. “Manufacturers regularly launch new products along with efficiency and design upgrades for existing models of heat pumps and heat recovery units. If you are in the installation business, it is essential to keep on top of everything that is coming out, and to have the knowledge to keep customers advised on what is available. “If an installer wants to come and just get product knowledge or get into the servicing side of the business, we have the training facilities to provide that service for them. We see this as an opportunity to train and empower the installers so they are in complete control of their installation.”

Installer TrainingCourses

The courses will run monthly, beginning in August and will target three skill levels: Basic Installer: Basic installer course, examines the new Daikin and Vent Axi products as they emerge and the advantages of each product. Advanced installer: Covers system set up for commissioning, fault- finding and servicing. Service partner: Examines major fault errors and training installers up to work alongside Floortherm engineers to help cover warranty claims across the range. Course numbers: Limited to 10 due to Covid-19 restrictions. Extra course dates will be organised to accommodate high demands.
