Toshiba enhances AC support

UK: Toshiba Carrier UK has updated its Rewards UK air conditioning and heat pump installer incentive programme adding three enhanced accredited partner tiers above the basic membership level.

The Rewards scheme, which is open to direct customers of TCUK and customers of Toshiba Air Conditioning distributors and approved re-sellers, gives points for equipment purchases which can be redeemed for gift vouchers, tools, equipment and branded merchandise, and offers practical assistance to support business growth.

The updated programme now features three enhanced accredited partner tiers above the basic membership level, with silver, gold and platinum accreditation reflecting the level of customer spend over a year. The tiered programme is designed to support installers to build their businesses by incentivising progress through the levels, with each successive stage providing higher levels of support, technical training and incentives.

In addition to points earned and depending on the level, the programme includes compelling promotional schemes, on-site support services, tools, technical support and factory visits.
