Heat Pumps & Geysers

As energy efficiency becomes a national priority, heat pumps are rapidly replacing traditional water heating systems across South Africa. This comprehensive, hands-on course equips learners with the skills to install, maintain, and troubleshoot both heat pumps and energy-efficient geysers in residential and light commercial settings.

You’ll gain a solid understanding of how heat pump systems work, including the refrigeration cycle, components, plumbing integration, electrical requirements, and system controls. The course also covers retrofitting existing geyser installations, routine servicing procedures, and fault diagnosis techniques.

Whether you’re upskilling or entering the green energy sector, this training prepares you to meet the growing demand for sustainable water heating solutions in homes, guest lodges, and commercial buildings.

Onsite training is available for each of our courses, tailored to your team’s needs.
