A NEW heat pump showroom and training centre will open its doors in North Yorkshire next week.
The centre in Malton is set to open its doors on Wednesday (March 6) to educate homeowners across the region on the benefits of sustainable home heating, and support anyone considering the transition.
Daikin, the UK’s leading heat pump manufacturer has spent the past few years growing its Sustainable Home Centres to provide training facilities to upskill heating engineers as the nation transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

This will be Daikin’s fourth launch in 2024 as the transition to renewables and heat pumps accelerates the growth of its network and further builds on the success of 2023.
The new Daikin Sustainable Home Centre is on the Industrial Estate in Showfield Lane is being launched by MKM Building Supplies, the UK’s leading and fastest-growing builder’s merchant, with branches across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The official launch event runs from 10.00am until 2.00pm on the day and is open to all, from homeowners to trade professionals such as housebuilders, merchants, and heating installers. Complimentary cold refreshments and a buffet will be available throughout the day.
Representatives from Daikin and MKM Building Supplies will be there on the day to mark the opening, and a ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 10.30am to officially open the centre. Visitors will be able to meet experts from MKM Building Supplies, along with Daikin UK, and experience all of Daikin’s latest heat pump technology.
As well as providing a hub for homeowners to learn about renewable heating and for installers to bring their customers, the Daikin Sustainable Home Centre will house a heat pump training centre. This will help local plumbing and heating installers diversify into renewable heating solutions and ensure the long-term competitiveness of their businesses, as fossil fuel boilers are phased out.
