Heat Pump Installer

The installation of heat pumps and low-carbon heating systems is vital in decarbonising UK housing stock and commercial buildings, and in achieving our national net zero goals. Heat pumps reduce the carbon footprint of homeowners and business owners, make their properties more energy efficient, provide independence from the national gas grid and reduce heating bills in the long-term. Those who work in green energy are engaged and interested in how things around us work and want to improve or provide better alternatives to improve their functionality, sustainability, and impact on the environment.

A day in the life of a Heat Pump Installer involves many tasks. Larger organisations tend to have more segmented roles, as they have access to more IT-based functions and administrative support staff. In smaller organisations, you would work on a wider variety of tasks, including some paperwork and administrative jobs.

The day may generally begin with communication checks and equipment checks for the upcoming site visit. Standard tasks may include completing health and safety and risk assessment checks on site at arrival, and consulting with colleagues, other trades and the Site Manager, or the customer. A Heat Pump Installer will then perform the repair/servicing itself (examples are listed below). The day will end with work completion checks and further liaison with Site Managers and / or the customer. Finally, the work done will be logged and relevant paperwork / administration will be finalised
