What a year it has been for DiscreteHeat, from winning awards, new partnerships, registered installer training days, events, adding more members of staff and more. We’re certainly on the horizon with recognition coming from every corner of the plumbing world
We’re over the moon to state that we’ve won two major awards in the month of November 2023, Sustainable Product of the Year and GMCC & Commercial HVAC Product of the Year at the H&V News Awards.
Receiving these awards demonstrates the determination of managing director Martin Wadsworth and the DiscreteHeat team. Through all their efforts, passion and wanting to help push heating in a more sustainable way.
Renewable energy partnerships
DiscreteHeat is leading the charge with an array of exciting collaborations and partnerships. These ventures are not just about expanding our reach but are integral to our commitment to transforming the way we approach heating.
Our fantastic partners, including City Plumbing, Underfloor Heating, Clivet, Wates and Energy Innovation Agency have been instrumental in propelling us to new heights.
The focus of these collaborations is clear – putting renewable energy and heating efficiency at the forefront. DiscreteHeat is not merely about skirting board heated systems; it’s a movement towards a sustainable and eco-friendly future.
We believe in making our products accessible to individuals worldwide, both in domestic and corporate settings.
What sets our partnerships apart is their alignment with DiscreteHeat’s overarching strategy to revolutionise the heating industry. We are not just warming spaces; we are reducing carbon emissions and championing greener alternatives compared with traditional radiators.
Being collaborative goes beyond business; it’s about spreading awareness and education. Working hand-in-hand with our partners allows us to amplify our message about a more sustainable and efficient heating solution. By showcasing the advantages of our products, we aim to inspire individuals and businesses alike to make the switch to a greener and more eco-conscious heating system.
Registered Installer Programme
Rolling out our Registered Installer Programme has been a game-changer, extending an invitation to installers across the UK to join our immersive ThermaSkirt demonstration masterclass.
In this one-day educational extravaganza, installers dive deep into the theory and practical aspects of ThermaSkirt, covering both our electric and wet systems. We believe in hands-on learning, giving installers the chance to not only understand the ins and outs of ThermaSkirt but also to meet the passionate team behind DiscreteHeat, ready to support them through every installation.
Becoming a registered installer means more than just joining a programme; it’s about becoming a valued member of our team. It’s about collaborating with an innovative, energy-efficient heating system that prioritises safety and wellbeing.
As we bid farewell to 2023, we’re thrilled to announce that over 70 installers have hopped on board since the launch of our programme in September.
Recognising the need for flexibility, DiscreteHeat has crafted an online module (available in 2024), allowing installers to navigate through the theory and practical aspects of ThermaSkirt at their own pace.
This comprehensive module covers everything from product functionality and installation procedures to the benefits and support our team provides. Upon completion, each installer receives a certificate, officially inducting them into our registered installer network.
But it doesn’t end there. Our installer/distribution map, accessible to all customers, showcases the network and highlights installer case studies. Looking ahead to 2024, our primary focus remains on educating as many installers as possible.
We’re committed to keeping everyone in the loop and offering support wherever needed, ensuring that ThermaSkirt makes its mark on the heating world the right way.
