Wolseley to stock Haier renewable products

UK: The Wolseley Group’s Plumb Centre branches are now a source for Haier’s range of renewable products, including air-source heat pumps, smart controls, and battery storage systems.

According to Wolseley, this new partnership builds on its growing investment in the renewables market. Earlier this year it launched Renewables Centre, a brand that supports installers with training, accredited system design, and expert technical guidance as they build capability in low-carbon systems. 

Renewables Centre provides a fully integrated support package for installers from MCS-accredited system design to application support, commissioning guidance, and hands-on training. 

With two dedicated training centres open in Shrewsbury and Swansea, Wolseley says that the high demand for its training courses has prompted additional dates to be added.
