With the rise in demand for renewable heating solutions, Heat Pump Engineers are busier than ever – but in a competitive market, it’s important to make sure you’re not just relying on one source for your next job. Whether you’re self-employed or running a small team, here’s how to get more work as a heat pump engineer using both traditional and modern methods.
1 – Digital Marketing
These days, having an online presence is a must. Most customers will search for a heating installer online before making a decision. Here’s how to make sure they find you:
- Professional Website: Showcase your services, qualifications, reviews, and recent projects.
- Google Business Profile: Helps you show up in local search results and Google Maps.
- Social Media: Use platforms like Facebook and Instagram to show off installations and customer feedback.
- Online Ads: Google Ads and Facebook Ads can generate high-quality local leads when set up correctly.
2. Direct Mail & Leaflets
Don’t underestimate traditional marketing. A well-designed leaflet delivered through the right doors can be surprisingly effective, especially in targeted areas where homeowners are exploring low-carbon heating options.
- Highlight your MCS certification, warranty options, and financing solutions.
- Offer free surveys or consultations to encourage people to call.
3. Word of Mouth & Referrals
Satisfied customers are your biggest asset. Ask them to recommend you to neighbours, friends, or family. You can even offer incentives such as:
- Referral discounts
- Gift cards for successful introductions
- Social media shoutouts
4. Networking Events & Local Trade Shows
Attending industry events or local exhibitions can help you build connections with:
- Builders and developers
- Electricians and plumbers
- Renewable energy consultants
The InstallerSHOW, regional expos, and even local business breakfasts are great places to form new partnerships.
5. Trade Directories
Websites like Checkatrade, Rated People and TrustATrader are trusted by consumers looking for vetted professionals. Ensure your profile stands out by:
- Collecting genuine customer reviews
- Adding photos of recent work
- Keeping your availability and pricing transparent
These platforms are often the first stop for homeowners searching for qualified engineers.
