ƵAir Conditioning UK Ltd. (Headquarters: London, United Kingdom), a group company of ƵIndustries, Ltd., has acquired the British service company Robert Heath Heating Ltd. (Headquarters: London, United Kingdom). The deal that was signed yesterday will strengthen Daikin’s residential heating service network in the UK. The acquisition supports Daikin’s plans to become a total solutions provider in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC-R) market and deliver excellent customer experiences. It is Daikin’s largest investment in the UK to date.
Heat pump heating is essential in achieving society’s decarbonization targets. As more of its heat pumps will be installed, Ƶaims to make sure that the maintenance capacity follows suit. The acquisition of Robert Heath Heating will enable Ƶto scale up maintenance services for its residential customers in the UK. This is the latest innovation by Ƶin the UK - four years ago it established a market-leading Sustainable Home Centre network where homeowners can get local advice, and where new heating and plumbing installers can start their transition towards heat pumps. Where the center doesn’t provide servicing, Robert Heath Heating’s engineers will be able to do so.
Commenting on the acquisition, ƵUK’s Managing Director, Hiroyasu Ishikawa said:
“ Ƶis already the UK’s leading provider of heating and cooling in the residential, commercial, and industrial markets.

The acquisition will fuel growth and opportunities for both organizations and ensure excellent levels of customer service and satisfaction.”

We will continue to work closely with our existing partners in the heating and social housing sectors. We are looking forward to joining the Ƶgroup, who share the same customer-first values as we do.”
