Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized occupation that installs boilers, hot water piping, radiators, etc., performs piping and insulation in building heating systems, and constructs systems to circulate hot water.
Description
Central heating installers construct heating systems that circulate hot water by installing boilers based on design drawings, laying hot water piping, attaching radiators (radiators, floor heating panels, etc.), and performing insulation and thermal insulation work. They select piping materials and insulation materials according to the characteristics of gas, electricity, and heat sources, requiring technology to prevent leaks and heat loss. After construction, they adjust pressure and temperature during trial operation to confirm the safety and efficiency of the system. On site, teamwork and safety and health management are essential.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the普及 of energy-saving and high-efficiency heating equipment and the need for updating deteriorated piping. With the strengthening of environmental regulations, technologies to handle high-efficiency boilers and renewable energy utilization equipment will be required.
