Installer

We’re not looking for one-off installers who disappear after the job is done — we value professionals committed to long-term quality and service.Installer members are expected to:

  • Respond to leads within 3 working days

  • Offer a 5-year workmanship warranty

  • Ensure systems are serviced on regular basis

  • Leave a service record (e.g., sticker) at the heat source

  • Design and install systems to suit each home’s needs

Supplier

We’re not interested in brands that just want visibility without responsibility.

  • Provide on-the-shelf spare parts

  • Offer minimum phone-based technical support

  • Actively support training and education

  • Provide fair warranty terms and uphold claims professionally
