Heat Geek is a community of independent heating engineers working in renewable technology. With training courses to assist gas engineers to transition to Heat Pump work, as well as tools and technologies to enable those engineers to grow their business as they put their new skills to work; Heat Geek is built to enable independent engineers to deliver the best Heat Pump installations in the market.
Vaillant, a leading heating manufacturer has invested heavily in bringing advanced heating systems to the UK market for many years. In their 150th year of operation, Vaillant proudly operates a UK manufacturing plant for the aroTHERM plus air-to-water heat pumps (featuring natural refrigerant), which sit at the heart of the majority of Heat Geek installations.
Heat Geek has worked with Vaillant for many years with hundreds of Vaillant manufactured devices at the heart of highly efficient, warm homes for customers across the country. The Heat Geek platform works with Vaillant technologies in the heat pump to monitor every heat pump they install. Using data from these monitored installs, Heat Geek installations are running at an average SCOP of 440%, far exceeding the national average and BUS minimum of 280%. These efficiencies are a reflection of the high level of skills of the Heat Geek installer network and the capabilities and efficiencies of the equipment.
