New Daikin Sustainable Home Centre Opens in Northampton.

On Wednesday, September 27th, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Plumbco will be launching our brand new Daikin Sustainable Home Centre. The centre is located over at our Northampton Branch: Unit 23, Gambrel Road, West Gate Industrial Estate.

The Daikin Sustainable Home Centre will be a place for homeowners to learn about renewable heating and cooling solutions and to see the latest Daikin heat pump technology in action. The centre will also house a heat pump training centre, which will help plumbing and heating installers diversify into renewable heating solutions.

The official launch event will begin at 11:00 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. We’re excited to announce that the Mayor of Northampton, Cllr. Stephen Hibbert, and the Mayoress of Northampton, Liz Cox, will be attending. Visitors to the event will be able to tour the centre, meet with experts from Plumbco and Daikin UK, and enjoy a complimentary hog roast, bacon rolls, sausage rolls, and veggie options.

“Opening this new Sustainable Home Centre is a significant milestone for our business and the local community,” commented Ben Mclaren, Branch Manager at Plumbco Northampton. “As a trusted independent plumbing and heating merchant that puts customer service first, adding Daikin’s renewable technology to our portfolio of products and expertise will increase what we can offer our customers while developing the renewable energy market in Northamptonshire.”

“We’re looking forward to seeing lots of friendly faces on the big day, and we’re thrilled to have the Mayor and Mayoress of Northampton join us to celebrate this next step in our journey to help our community become more sustainable.”

Iain Bevan, Commercial Manager, Heating & Renewables at Daikin UK, added: “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.

“Heat pumps have huge potential to reduce energy usage and bills in the home. Over its 15-year lifespan*, switching from a fossil fuel boiler to an air source heat pump can save homeowners more than £3,000 when compared to a gas boiler, more than £6,000 compared with oil, and more than £9,000 compared to LPG.

“We’re delighted to have partnered with Plumbco to open a Daikin Sustainable Home Centre. It will give heating professionals and homeowners a place to explore and discuss heat pump technology and the significant cost and energy savings they offer in person.

“With extensive funding available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, there’s never been a better time for homeowners to make green energy efficiency improvements.”

Whether you’re a homeowner interested in learning more about renewable heating or a trade professional looking to diversify into renewable heating solutions, the Daikin Sustainable Home Centre located at Plumbco Northampton is the place for you. We look forward to seeing you there on Wednesday, September 27th!
