MORE INSTALLERS INTERESTED IN AR AND VR SERVICE SUPPORT FROM MANUFACTURERS
While the pandemic was an undeniable and majorly disruptive milestone experience in the world of HVAC installers and plumbers, as it was in the entire world, it did not change much to trends in the sector, aside from stealing their attention for a while. Overall trends like the energy transition are causing a constant flow of new and complex systems that need installing by qualified installers. Meanwhile, business is picking up after the corona dip, construction volumes are still growing, and in certain areas, housing shortages will ensure further growth in the future. All this means that installers are in high demand.

Following training is an efficient way for electrical installers to keep up to date with products developments, trends, and laws and regulations. As we have seen in previous articles, European electrical installers are quite fond of it, given that a pandemic could not even keep them away from training. Also, electrical installers are quite interested in receiving training and certification from manufacturers and are willing to invest precious time in such training despite their busy schedules.
