Daikin offers £250 heat pump incentive

UK: Daikin is to offer £250 to MSC certified installers each time they fit a Daikin air-source heat pump in England, Scotland or Wales.

The scheme is directly linked to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) and the Home Energy Scotland Scheme (HESS). In Scotland, the eligible products will also in include hybrid boilers

Henk van den Berg, Daikin’s head of residential business said that the offer would be particularly attractive to gas installers who want to expand their business into renewables too. “This will require additional investment and training to future proof their skills, so the £250 bonus per heat pump installation is another great reason to get ready for renewables,” Henk van den Berg added.

Running alongside the Installer Incentive scheme, Daikin’s new installer offer provides free local heat pump training in a Daikin Sustainable Home Centre and £100 off easy MCS accreditation. In addition to this, new installers will also benefit from 40% off the first heat pump unit purchased at a local centre and commissioning support for the first three air source heat pump installations they undertake.
