Careers at Expert Heating Solutions
Build a career in the systems that will heat Britain’s homes.
Expert Heating Solutions is an MCS-approved and Gas Safe registered installer working across South East London, Bromley and Kent. We design, install and maintain air source heat pumps, gas boilers and air conditioning for homeowners, landlords and commercial clients – from single-property retrofits in Orpington and Chislehurst to multi-unit projects like the 70-apartment boiler scheme we delivered in Maidstone.
Renewable heating is where our work is growing fastest. Government grants of up to £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme have moved heat pumps from a niche product to a mainstream one, and we need qualified engineers who want to be on the right side of that shift – with the training, certification and manufacturer support to do it properly.
If you take pride in a tidy install, explain your work clearly to the customer, and would rather do a job once and do it right, we’d like to hear from you.
