Air Source Heat Pump & Solar Complaints

Since the UK Government announced their Net Zero Carbon target of reaching zero Carbon by 2050, the plumbing and heating industry has seen massive changes, some of those changes maybe for the better and some may not. 

The UK became the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming by 2050. The target will require the UK to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, compared with the previous target of at least 80% reduction from 1990 levels. 

The UK has already reduced emissions by 42% while growing the economy by 72% and has put clean growth at the heart of our modern industrial strategy. This could see the number of “green collar jobs” grow to 2 million and the value of exports from the low carbon economy grow to £170 billion a year by 2030.

The UK Government also announced that they want 600,000 Air Source Heat Pumps to be installed every year until 2028, this is a massive 4.2 million installations and this has been seen as one of the major influences in the gas and heating industry for many years.

Unfortunately this will also see many rogue traders and unethical traders selling and installing the product incorrectly. We have already got over 60 complaints against businesses that have carried out installations that are either undersized for the property or they have been installed where the property does not meet the required standards and the home owners are not able to claim the RHI payments. 

The same thing happened in the solar panels industry, all sales companies and installers had to be registered with MCS, but not all were. if you had problems with your solar panels, call Hydrogard as you may be able to make a solar panel refund claim.
