The Guild of Master Heat Engineers

The Guild is not a new certification or accreditation scheme; it is a peer-assessed network of the very best heating engineers. Its purpose is to solve a fundamental problem: the difficulty for consumers and the wider industry to identify true expertise. The concept is based on the way the original guilds of the Middle Ages operated, where master craftspeople were recognised by their peers for their skill and quality of work.

An engineer is formally inducted into the The Guild of Master Heat Engineers (GoMHE) by having their work featured in one of our detailed case studies, where their expertise is validated by other respected professionals in the field. This model leverages the simple truth that good engineers know other good engineers, and it provides a transparent, trustworthy way for that expertise to be recognised by everyone.

Guild Patrons 

Guild Patrons are a small, select group of organisations that support this entire initiative. Their role is not to influence the content but to enable the spread of good information. By becoming a Patron, they are actively funding the creation and dissemination of engineer-led case studies, helping to break down silos and raise standards across the entire heating industry. They are seen as collaborators in a crucial mission: to create a trusted source of truth that benefits everyone from homeowners to policymakers.

As Chris Stark has expressed:

Being a Guild Patron signifies a commitment to the growth of a skilled, knowledgeable, and transparent heating sector.
