It makes you a better installer, full stop
Heat loss, hydronics, system design, flow temperatures. This is the physics of a wet heating system.
40 hours. 100% pass mark.
You don't scrape through this one. That's the whole reason the badge is worth having and why homeowners will come looking for it.
Who it's for
Plumbers and heating engineers already working in Irish homes. You don't need heat pump experience to start — you need to know your way around a wet system and be willing to be wrong about a few things.
First month free.
Self-paced and online, so you fit it around the work you're already doing. Stop when you've had enough, or keep going and earn the badge. €150 a month after your free period ends.

Tell us about your home now and you'll be at the front of the queue, you'll help us decide which counties to focus on first.
The right design
Every home loses heat differently. Your system gets sized off a proper heat loss calculation for your house, not a rule of thumb and a guess at the radiators.
The right installer
A local engineer who chose to be tested on this. The course is hard, and nobody gets through it alone — geeks work the difficult jobs out with each other, and keep doing it long after they've passed. Not a call centre, not a subcontractor you meet on the day.
The right result
A badly designed heat pump is expensive to run and cold in February. A well designed one is cheaper than the oil boiler it replaced. The difference is entirely in the detail.
Register your interest
Start with your Eircode and we'll work out which county you're in, so you don't have to.
Ten years of showing our working
Heat Geek started as a YouTube channel in 2016 and never stopped. Hundreds of videos of heating theory, install walkthroughs and a fair amount of myth-busting — dig in and judge us on it. A heat pump in Cork behaves exactly like one in Coventry, so all of it applies here.
Do they break the laws of thermodynamics? Adam explains why a heat pump doesn't make heat, it moves it. The one idea everything else rests on.
An uninsulated 1960s building, poor glazing, no wall insulation. Proof you don't need a Scandinavian superhouse for this to work.
Works whether you're on a heat pump or still on a boiler. Three things that cut what you spend, before you spend anything.
