“Our industry-leading Energy Efficiency Team has been in place for over a decade, offering an indemnified design service along with impartial advice on technologies and manufacturers, as the market evolves, we are looking to support our installers through their journey and this partnership, and the Energy Efficiency Centre are crucial steps in this process”
Griff Thomas, manging director of GTEC Training added: “GTEC is delighted to be playing a part in Energy Efficiency at City Plumbing, with our first in-merchant training facility at the Energy Efficiency Centre in Farnborough”
“Heat Pumps are playing a key role in the UK’s drive to reduce the carbon footprint of our buildings – the ideal solution for energy efficient properties”
“Thanks to the partnership between GTEC & City Plumbing, installers will be able to access everything the need to enter this growing market; from purchasing the latest heat pumps and associated equipment, to undertaking our industry-leading training”
