Panasonic £500 rewards for heat pump training

UK: Panasonic has announced plans for a new reward scheme to assist gas boiler engineers and installers to up-skill and get qualified to install and maintain air-source heat pumps.

Under the Train to Gain with Panasonic scheme, Panasonic will give installers £500 in rewards (limited to one per company) on completion of the Level 3 accredited heat pump training following their first Panasonic installation.

Installers completing the relevant training courses, installing and commissioning an Aquarea system and DHW tank will be eligible for the scheme, which will provide the installation company with a £500 reward in the form of Love2ShopVouchers.  

The qualifying training courses are available from several training centres across the country offering the Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Heat Pump Systems (Non-refrigerant Circuits). 

Claims can be submitted once qualified, and following their first install of one Aquarea heat pump system with a domestic hot water tank. The new Panasonic scheme will run until 31 December 2023.

Panasonic will also offer further free product training and support – and will provide free commissioning support.

According to Panasonic, the new scheme is simple and straightforward – get Level 3 qualified, buy the qualifying products from an authorised Panasonic distributor or wholesaler, install, commission the system and connect to the cloud – and then send in the claim.

To find a local training provider for the Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Heat Pump Systems (Non-refrigerant Circuits) courses offered, search LCL or BPec websites.
