EPSOM & EWELL MAYOR TO VISIT NEW SUSTAINABLE HOME CENTRE AND ACCELERATE SURREY'S SUSTAINABILITY DRIVE

A brand-new Sustainable Home Centre showcasing the latest in air source heat pump technology will be opening in Epsom this coming Friday (13 October) to help people across Surrey make a confident and successful transition to sustainable heating in their homes.

The Daikin Sustainable Home Centre, located at Epsom Business Park on Kiln Lane in Epsom is being launched with Tucker French, Surrey's leading independent plumbing and heating merchants, that operates as a joint venture with Maloney's Plumbing and Heating Merchants.

The launch event runs on Friday 13th October from 10:00am – 2:00pm and is open to everyone, from homeowners to trade professionals such as housebuilders, merchants and heating installers. 

Attending on the day and cutting the ribbon at 12:00pm to officially open the centre will be The Worshipful Mayor of Epsom and Ewell, Councillor Rob Geleit and his wife, Mayoress Thomasina Tanner. Visitors will be able to look around, meet experts from Tucker French, Maloney`s as well as Daikin UK, and experience the latest heat pump technology.

Alongside opening speeches, there will be a prize draw with the chance to win family tickets to the BBC Earth Experience.

As well as providing a hub for homeowners to learn about renewable heating and for installers to bring their customers, the Daikin Sustainable Home Centre will house a heat pump training centre. This will help plumbing and heating installers diversify into renewable heating solutions and ensure the long-term competitiveness of their businesses, as fossil fuel boilers are phased out. 

The new centre will be a place for homeowners to familiarise themselves with air source heat pump technology, and to sit down with an expert to discuss the best heating and cooling solutions for their home.

Colm Maloney, Director of Maloney's Heating and Pluming Merchants, commented: "The launch of this new Daikin Sustainable Home Centre is an exciting endeavour for the business. With our strong focus on delivering excellent plumbing, heating and bathroom solutions, along with Daikin's expertise in renewable heating, we'll be perfectly placed to provide expert insight and recommendations to the people of Surrey looking to revolutionise their heating methods." 

"We are looking forward to seeing lots of friendly faces at the launch, and we're thrilled to have the Mayor of Epsom and Ewell, Councillor Rob Geleit join us to celebrate this next step in our journey to helping the community become more sustainable.

"With our expertise and Daikin's market-leading product range, there will be something for everyone, both at the launch event and beyond."

Iain Bevan, Commercial Manager - Heating & Renewables at Daikin UK, added: "It's important that homeowners who want to go green can easily access expert advice and guidance, helping them find the best solution for their heating and hot water needs. 

"Heat pumps have huge potential to reduce energy usage and bills in the home. Over its 15-year lifespan*, switching from a fossil fuel boiler to an air source heat pump can save homeowners more than £3,000 when compared to a gas boiler, more than £6000 compared with oil and more than £9,000 compared to LPG. 

"We're delighted to have partnered with Tucker French to open a Daikin Sustainable Home Centre at Maloney's. It will give heating professionals and homeowners a place to explore and discuss heat pump technology and the significant cost and energy savings they offer in person.

"With extensive funding available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which has recently been boosted to £7,500, there's never been a better time for homeowners to make green energy efficiency improvements."
