Notorious heat pump design expert Michael, from Option Energy Solutions in Brighton Sussex, comes on the show with Tom from Somerset.

Tom runs Arlow Plumbing and Heating and has a team of five involved in the installation of gas and oil boilers. Tom started installing heat pumps quite a few years ago and has recently teamed up with Michael who has provided some mentorship.

The conversation naturally discussed training, one of the subjects Nathan at BetaTalk is regarded as being an expert on. The episode is more proof of how engineers are learning more from each other than perhaps the courses which are on offer.

The chat discussed recent changes proposed by DESNZ as well as discussing some of the manufacturers involved with heat pumps such as:

• Vaillant
• Viessmann
• Grant
• Ideal
• Worcester Bosch
• Mitsubishi
• Midea

The microgeneration certification scheme (MCS) recently became aware of a non-certified business targeting and encouraging MCS installers to break scheme requirements.

We chat to Ben who has recently become MCS registered to discuss the situation along with his transitional journey into the world of heat pumps.

We also discuss a current topical: Government funded heat pump training, which Nathan argues is not working as well as it should.

In this podcast Nathan chats with his friends Barry from Renewable Heat and Matt from Matt Rigby Heating Ltd.

The guests and Nathan discuss Matts journey from a gas engineer to a heat pump engineer. It mentions how Barry has provided mentorship which is a far better way to help gas engineers transition than the current system of just sending them on a powerpoint course.

This season is sponsored by Ultimate Renewables Supplies
