Local training. Big impact.
Heat Geek partnered with Retrofit West to improve heat pump outcomes across the South West. Through this partnership, local installers got funded training and homeowners received subsidised Design Consultations.
The goal? Better installs, better outcomes, and a faster transition to low-carbon heating in the region.
What Retrofit West funded
Retrofit West backed high-quality training for local heating engineers using Heat Geek’s online training. This gave them:
- Deep system design knowledge
- A clear understanding of low flow temp installs
- Practical skills to deliver reliable, quiet, efficient systems
They also subsidised the cost of Design Consultations for homeowners, making it easier for people to get a high quality heating system designed and installed.
Why this matters
Many homeowners in the South West are interested in heat pumps but unsure where to start. By reducing the cost barrier and training up local experts, Retrofit West helped solve two problems:
- Confusion around what works in older homes
- Lack of skilled, design-led installers
Heat Geek filled both gaps: proper advice, and a network of trained professionals ready to deliver.
