Vital Energi, the provider of energy services, systems and solutions have invested in a new specialist team to support the rapid growth of the heat pump market.
Heat pumps have been identified to play a key role in the UK’s transition to net zero and the government has an aspiration that the number of heat pump installations will increase to 600,000 a year by 2028.
This new team will enhance Vital’s in-house expertise. The team of 10 has over 140 years of combined experience in the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) sector providing expertise in thermodynamics, vapour compression, heat exchange, system modelling, and software programming, as well as field service and commissioning.
The team will be led by engineering director, Chris Green, and technical director, Patrick Knight.
Ashley Malin, Vital Energi’s managing director (Solutions), said:
“The energy market is changing at pace, and through strengthening our in-house expertise, we’re demonstrating our market-leading capability and ensuring we can meet the needs of our customers in an agile manner. The addition of the new team not only enhances our heat pump capability, but ensures we have the right skills to create energy infrastructure for our future.”
