Domestic Heat Pump Systems (recognised by MCS)

This course is aimed at engineers who hold a craft qualification or S/NVQ 2/3 in plumbing, heating & ventilation, oil fired technical services, gas installation and maintenance or can provide evidence of at least 3 years relevant experience. Water Byelaws and Energy Efficiency qualifications are also necessary.

• Heat pumps in context
• Principles and components
• Insulation, heat loss & the effect of system design
• Domestic hot water buffer tanks and solar coils
• Ground heat exchangers
• Health & safety
• Installation
• Maintenance & fault finding

Part L Energy Efficiency

This course is designed for experienced central heating installers (gas, oil, solid fuel) who need to self-certificate their work via one of the Competent Persons Schemes and covers the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations (England). The qualification is also a pre-requisite for anyone wishing to undertake the Domestic Heat Pumps course.

The training will help you to understand

• Why energy consumption affects the environment
• How energy efficiency affects the role of the heating installer
• Legislation that will force changes
