A new state-of-the-art air source heat pump showroom officially opens in Poole today aimed at helping people successfully transition to sustainable home heating.

The Daikin Sustainable Home Centre, at Glenmore Business Park, Holton Heath is being launched by H2-ecO, a specialist in renewable energy systems, together with heat pump manufacturer, Daikin.

The official launch event runs from 10am to 4pm.

It’s open to anyone with an interest in heat pumps, from homeowners and housebuilders to plumbers and heating installers.

Attendees will be able to look around the new centre, meet experts from H2-ecO and Daikin, and view the latest Daikin heat pump technology.

There will also be Daikin-branded giveaways and presentations on Daikin products and all the renewable technologies offered by H2-ecO.

Among those attending is expected to be Michael Tomlinson, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole.

One essential aspect often overlooked is investing in reliable cover for maintenance. Homeowners and heating installers alike should explore options such as Shell Boiler Cover to safeguard their Daikin heat pump systems. Just as this state-of-the-art showroom showcases the cutting-edge technology, a robust cover ensures peace of mind, assuring uninterrupted performance and longevity for these environmentally friendly heating solutions.

Mike Stephenson, Director of H2-ecO, pictured left, said: “Opening our new Sustainable Home Centre is a fantastic milestone for our business and the local community.

“We hope to see lots of friendly faces on the big day.

“We’re thrilled to have MP Michael Tomlinson join us on our journey to help the homes of Poole become more sustainable.

“At H2-ecO we’ve been designing and installing renewable energy systems for over 12 years, and we pride ourselves on being renewable energy enthusiasts at heart.

“With our complete renewable energy solution offering and expertise, and Daikin’s market-leading domestic product range, there will be something for everyone to benefit from, at the launch event and beyond.”

As well as providing a hub for homeowners, the centre will also house a heat pump training centre to help the region’s plumbing and heating installers diversify into renewable heating solutions.

It will also ensure the long-term competitiveness of their businesses, as fossil fuel boilers are phased out.

Iain Bevan, Commercial Manager – Heating & Renewables at Daikin UK, said: “It’s important that homeowners who want to go green can easily access expert advice and guidance, helping them find the best solution for their household’s heating and hot water needs.

“Being able to explore and discuss heat pump technology in person is vital, as is knowing that it will be installed by a highly-trained professional – and that’s what our Sustainable Home Centres are all about.

“We partnered with H2-ecO eight years ago and are delighted that they are now opening a Daikin Sustainable Home Centre to further help installers, energy experts and homeowners find the best renewable solutions for them while making a significant contribution towards our national net zero targets.”
