BPEC Award Air Source Heat Pump Systems Course

This BPEC Award Air Source Heat Pump Systems course gives installers the skills and knowledge required to correctly design, install and maintain Heat Pump systems.

This BPEC Heat Pump Systems Course is recognised as a demonstration of competence for the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) including both the Installation and Design aspects.

Our Trainer here at GRE Energy Training in Chesterfield has over 10 years of industry experience installing and servicing Air and Ground source Heat Pumps.

Heat pumps convert the solar energy which is absorbed by the ground or air to heat water, and are effective even in colder conditions. By using electrical power to convert the solar energy into practical heat for homes and businesses, heat pumps are capable of achieving over 400% energy efficiency.
