Congratulations – you are now a fully trained and onboarded HPIN member.
Once you complete your Carno training, you can start doing your own technical assessments (TAs). You can also submit your heat pump jobs here on the site for any jobs you have sold yourself as well as make referrals.

This page gives you all the information you need to get going such as:

  • Job offers – TA’s and installs
  • B2B and B2C job offers – what you need
  • Installation and best practice
  • Support and helplines
  • Getting paid
  • Referrals

Technical Assessments

You will receive a TA job offer via email. If there are other installers in your area they will also receive this offer so make sure to be proactive in your responses. Once the TA offer is signed you will receive a call from the admin to arrange dates and times.

Installation jobs

You will receive a job offer with all the details needed for the install job. We need you to sign this job offer before the installation can be confirmed. If there are no radiators quoted in the job offer feel free to quote the customer for extra works on your behalf. Each install is priced specifically between £2500-£3,500 and the exact amount will be stated in the job offer.

B2C Installs

We have two types of installations at HPIN. For each type of install you will still receive the job offer which you can accept or decline. B2C job requirements are listed below:

You will need to provide some materials and labour:

  • Copper Tube
  • Lever valves
  • Electrician
  • Cable
  • Consumables

B2B Installs

On a B2B Install we provide all the fixtures and fittings.

All you will need to supply is:

  • Electrician
  • Consumables
    (i.e. screws, flux, solder etc)

Within B2B we also have Eco work, potential developers and opportunities with social housing providers and Local Authorities.

Please bear in mind there may be site visits by partners so please be conscious of your actions.

Cash account codes

We have cash account codes for our installers to use at City Plumbing and Wolseley. This will allow you to get our company discount on the products you need. You can use these in store at the counter. You can find your codes on the Welcome Pack below.

Installation info and best practices

Important

During an installation and TA refrain from speaking to the customer about pricing, the location of Heat Pump and if you think it’s feasible. If the customer has any questions tell them to contact CB Heating. CB Heating Customer Number – 01255 821443

 

Introduction to Customer:

Introduce yourself to the customer with a happy demeanour and explain you are with CB Heating/HPIN. You Should briefly explain the work you will be doing and the estimated timeline.

 

Checking materials

Once you arrive on site and are prepared, go through and check your materials to make sure everything you need has arrived. Preferably before 12p as if something is missing you can call the install team to assist.

Install team = 01255 411573

 

Maximum install time

Installs should be no more than 5 continuous days on site. If you expect the works to overrun or if you need to leave site, please contact the office. Communication is key!

 

End of install

At the end of the installation, you are expected to commission correctly and provide certificates by the end of the last working day. You are also expected to tidy the site and do a full customer handover.

 

Post install audit

An audit is completed via the commission documents. Our install team will assess these to make sure that the install is up to our standards and installed correctly.

If the audit fails, you will receive an ‘audit failed’ form outlining the corrective actions needed. You will then be expected to return to the property to resolve the issues.

We pride ourselves on 5-star customer reviews, so if you don’t return to the property, we will have to instruct another installer to resolve the issues. If you do not return to correct any outstanding issues with the install, we reserve the right to withhold your payment.

 

Support and helplines

  • TA/Install Questions:

Getting Paid

Technical Assessment/Site Visit

You should expect to receive £150 Minus CIS for a Technical Assessment.

It can be significantly less for a site visit as you may only be attending to retrieve a small amount of information.

CIS tax means contractors (Us here at HPIN/CB Heating) deduct a portion of the subcontractors (You as the installer) pay for taxes and send it to HMRC as part of the construction industry scheme.

It is either deducted at 20% or 30% depending on what you are registered at. If you are Gross registered, we take no tax meaning you pay HMRC yourself.

Installation

Each install is priced specifically between £2500-£3,500 this will be stated in the job offer. At the end of the TA and install please send your invoices to invoices@cbheating.co.uk for payment.  Submission cut off, and payment day is every 2 weeks. You can download the payment schedule below.
