Daikin opens heat pump centre in Darlington
28th April 2026
UK: Daikin UK is to open another of its Sustainable Home Centres at the Darlington premises of family-owned plumbing and building merchant DPH.
The official opening on April 30 follows a major upscaling of DPH’s premises and the creation of its own hub for innovation and education, the 4D centre, two years ago
The 4D Centre now features a Daikin showroom and dedicated training facility alongside a two-storey kitchen and bathroom exhibition with an on-site bespoke joinery workshop.
The new centre will host regular installer training sessions, product demonstrations and homeowner open days, giving local tradespeople the opportunity to gain certified upskilling and allowing consumers to see installations and interfaces in context.
The two-floor showroom and bespoke joinery workshop enable complete-system thinking, from equipment and controls to the finished aesthetic of kitchens and bathrooms, so customers can visualise how low-carbon systems integrate into modern homes.
