Ideal Heating, renewable energy, space heating

Ideal Heating has opened a 550 m2 centre of excellence at IQ Winnersh near Reading featuring showrooms for energy and commercial and domestic heating. The facility also provides training, and installers can get to grips with technologies such as Solar PV, solar thermal, ground- and air-source heat pumps — plus Code Combi, Evomax and Evomod boilers. Products from Keston and Stelrad will also be displayed.

James Parkinson, Ideal Heating’s marketing director, said, ‘We wanted to create a training centre that not only meets installers’ needs but exceeds their expectations. Our courses will not only equip attendees with the skills and knowledge to take their businesses forward, they will prepare them to take our industry into a new era of renewables and energy efficiency.’

Courses are available for commercial and domestic boilers, as well as renewables. All aspects of commissioning, servicing and fault finding are covered.

The BPEC courses for new energy solutions are recognised by all Microgeneration Certification Scheme, and participants are awarded full accreditation upon completion.
