Unvented Hot Water Systems

UNVENTED HOT WATER SYSTEMS

For years, the UK has met hot water demand in a variety of ways. Many traditional installations continue to work in homes and offices to this day, from gas and oil to solid fuel and electricity. However, with the ever-evolving industry, there are more options than ever before.

Yet, renewable energy technology in the replacement market creates challenges, from the difficulties faced installing in existing premises and the ever-changing technology to understanding and utilising realistic energy-saving options and ensuring all technology is compliant.

This training program has been designed for plumbing and heating engineers to demonstrate understanding and competency in installing, servicing, and maintaining domestic hot water systems.

Assessment takes place through multiple-choice assessments, scenario questions and observed practical tasks.

We deliver training as part of our ACS Gas & Renewables Training Course. However, it can also be undertaken by existing gas and heating engineers as an add-on course.

Qualification renewal is required every five years.
