@cbrookesheating Absolutely 😁
Just been to price a new build this morning the last bloke said he needs 2x 14kw ashp and a gas boiler back up
I'm looking at a one 10 kw ashp😂

@theheatinghub @TheConsumerCode Stop people with no relevant experience coming into the trade heat pumps are a lot more technical to install than double glazing!!!!!

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@theheatinghub I can explain this very easily it took me 10 months to become mcs registered then another 3 months to get through recc and ofgem i already had all the relevant experience in renewables mcs,recc and ofgem are falling are industry and need to be held accountable

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@theheatinghub @WhichUK Mandatory accreditation only makes more money for the training providers to roll out more not fit for purpose courses were installers have a certs saying there competent but know nothing about heating design
What we need is mandatory kimbo and heat geek courses

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@plumbers_urban Two reasons
He have the biggest gas boiler market in Europe with a lot of the manufacturer's not interested in developing renewable sales
And customer confidence/education just read the papers it's all about badly installed heat pumps which also puts off gas engineer's

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@EnergySvgTrust @energygovuk Only if they are installed correctly

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@_ChiefGeek Well i just call myself a plumber if anyone asks me not to fussed about fancy titles

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@mikefosterEUA @theheatinghub @DeSmog @UKHouseofLords I liked that by mistake i think you are a idiot

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@deltablues11 @theheatinghub @peteonlife You don't need the mixer/pump on the underfloor

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@peteonlife @theheatinghub I hope that's not a heat pump job 🙈

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@theheatinghub Why not give some money to installation companies to train young people . I currently have a apprentice I'm training for nothing when universities get 9.5k per year🧐

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@robertjwhitney @tepeoheat I left my details at your stand at installer show but no one has got back to me

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@theheatinghub And let's not get started on testing the water going into heating systems!!!!
Probably the biggest overlooked issue

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@simonjenkins900 Somebody who doesn't do heatloss calculations and has never heard of part L

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@PaulRHull @CommerciaLtd @HVN_Plus @HeatingYourHome @vipergas @TPIEuropeLtd @IMIHydronicUK @Victaulic @SBS1897 @Installer365 @DyslexiaEngDay @MadeByDyslexia Well done mate

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@AllenHart999 @OctopusEnergy I was only looking for yes or no
If you are in the renewables market trying to do the very best job this doesn't help the big boys will only bring the prices down

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@DrRhideWreede @louiseminchin @AppledoreBkFest Looks easy but very hard to master especially the snatch💪💪🏋️

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@HeatCalculation A willingness to learn without ego and a under standing it takes a lot of hard work to get good at the job

[Craig Gilhome @CraigGilhome]

@theheatinghub There probably only heat pump engineers a new trade that's been invented in the last couple of years ( just plumbers with a massive ego)
