An academy is training heat pump engineers and hopes to create 8,000 new jobs over the next decade.
Clean energy company Aira has opened a northern academy training centre at Halfway, Sheffield, as part of its £300 million investment in the UK.
The academy will teach both apprentices and existing gas engineers who want to retrain as heat pump specialists.
The government offers a £7,500 grant towards installing a heat pump, with households paying the rest of the cost – typically between £3,000 and £6,000, according to Aira.
