The Installer Economy: Why the Heat Transition Risks Leaving Small Installers Behind
The HVAC industry, which is made up of a huge array of businesses, organisations and stakeholders, is at a key point in its evolution.
Our CEO Jo Shepherd is a passionate leader in this industry and has shaped the company’s thinking and position on its future. In three whitepapers, Jo will explore the defining areas that will influence the next phase for the industry – the installer, the homeowner and the technology.

With the shift toward electrification, much of the conversation is focused purely on the number of people trained to install heat pumps. This barely scratches the surface of the reality. As we dig deeper, we find that a skills shortage is not the same as a skills utilisation problem.
Instead of pointing the finger at these installers, we must examine the world in which they operate. There is a web of factors we need to understand to have a more nuanced and detailed understanding of the new installer economy.
This whitepaper explores the factors influencing the installer economy of the future and provides recommendations on how we can create one in which independent installers can thrive.
