The latest Thornhvac HVAC Salary Survey looks at service engineer salaries across the UK in heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The data shows the areas of the UK where salaries are highest and highlights Scotland and Wales as the places with the lowest average salary. However, it also shows that there is less variation nationally between upper and lower salary limits, with most areas having a similar range. #salarysurvey #serviceengineers #serviceengineerjobs

🔊 New survey with insights from heat pump installer workforce 🔊 The results of a newly published heat pump installer survey have revealed some important insights into the industry and how we can install more heat pumps. Despite challenges like staff shortages and customer demand fluctuations, it’s great to note the workforce remains resilient and committed. Key takeaways include: - Industry Sentiment: 87% of respondents want to install more heat pumps annually and there is a strong desire to recruit more permanent staff, showing strong industry commitment. - Workforce Gaps: Addressing the skills gaps and encouraging recruitment is crucial to meet heat decarbonisation targets. - Digital Tools: High use of digital tools to support design and financial tasks as installers aim to increase operational efficiency. - Paperwork and Time Constraints: Ongoing concerns about the cost and time required to fill in paperwork for various schemes. - Consumer Decisions: Installers feel that upfront cost is a significant barrier for consumers. ‌To tackle these challenges and seize opportunities, we urge the new government to extend the Heat Pump Training Grant, commit to the energy efficiency funding streams already announced and introduce mandatory low-temperature heating training for all heating engineers. Investing in skills and training is essential for sustainable growth and the HPA is committed to supporting installers with awareness CPDs, statistical insights and enhanced training frameworks. ‌ For more detail, take a look at the full report by Nesta, Emma Bohan, and Nathan Gambling here: https://lnkd.in/dAauZrXx #heatpumps #lowcarbonheating #HPA #heatpumptraininggrant
