Daikin and London Heating & Plumbing Supplies are celebrating the launch of a new Sustainable Homes Centre, which has opened at Barking Road, in London’s East Ham.
The launch event brought together local installers and industry experts, marking a major milestone in the region’s transition to renewable heating.
Established more than 25 years ago as a small merchant, London Plumbing & Heating Supplies Ltd has since grown to hold four branches. Building on its move into renewables in 2023, the family-run business is now using the state-of-the-art Sustainable Homes Centre as a dedicated hub for sustainable home heating and cooling solutions.
Going forwards, the centre will play a vital role in upskilling local tradespeople through Daikin-led training, live product demonstrations, and technical support, giving installers the confidence and tools needed to meet the growing demand for heat pumps across London.
Kota Ikeda, National Residential Sales Manager at Daikin commented: “The Sustainable Home Centre embodies our shared goal to make low-carbon heating solutions attainable and practical for everyday homes and businesses. Through our showroom and training facility we give installers and homeowners hands-on access to products, technical guidance and the skills needed to speed up the adoption of heat pumps and other renewable technologies.”
Raj Dha, Operations Director at London Plumbing & Heating Supplies, added: “Opening our Daikin Heat Pump and Renewables Training Centre is a significant milestone for our business and reflects our long-term commitment to the renewable heating sector. We want to provide more than just products; we want to support installers with the knowledge, practical training, and technical expertise they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving industry.
“By creating a dedicated local training facility in partnership with Daikin, we’re investing in the future of our region, helping to upskill heating engineers, increase confidence in renewable technologies, and ensure customers have access to high-quality, professionally installed heat pump systems. We believe this Centre will become a valuable resource for both existing installers and those looking to enter the renewables market.”
