Many households will still need to come up with a balance of about £8,000 themselves if they want to invest in heat pump technology, despite the Government offering a £5,000 homeowner subsidy in the form of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Here, Ryan Harmer, our Managing Director, explains why it's becoming more and more critical for heating experts to be able to provide flexible payment options to their clients and what that procedure would mean for sole traders and SMEs.

Some of the heating industry's most active heat pump installers will now be able to offer homeowners a range of flexible payment options thanks to a new partnership between Daikin and back-office support app, hiber. The new partnership is set to revolutionise the way homeowners can access and pay for heat pump technology and overcome one of the main barriers to achieving the government's target of 600,000 heat pump installations by 2028.

Installers and heating engineers across the country can now benefit from the fastest way to price and order materials for new boiler installations following the relaunch of back-office support app, hiber. By using hiber, installers can quote, order and pay for boiler installations with ease, thanks to the app’s trade prices and direct links with over 1,000 merchant branches nationwide.
