Whether for new build or retro fit, for self builders, main stream housing developers, schools or commercial buildings, for heating, cooling or for use with underfloor heating systems or radiators, heat pumps provide the ideal low carbon energy solution whatever the application:

Social housing

• Suitable for new build and refurbishment projects
• Help to reduce running costs and therefore fuel poverty
• Negligible maintenance requirements
• Significantly reduce carbon emissions, so help with Building Regulations Part L compliance and Code for Sustainable Homes ratings for new developments
• 35% grants against the total installation costs through Low Carbon Buildings Programme Phase 2

Self builders

• 50% lower carbon emissions than gas boilers, so make significant contribution towards Building Regulations Part L compliance, particularly in contemporary styled homes with large areas of glazing
• High renewable energy contribution so help ease planning consent
• Reduce long term energy bills and maintenance costs

Housing developers

• 50% lower carbon emissions than gas boilers, so make significant contribution towards Building Regulations Part L compliance
• Over 70% renewables contribution for heating and hot water, so help with renewables planning consent obligations
• Will help towards achieving high energy efficiency scores for Code for Sustainable Homes ratings
• Highly marketable ‘eco’ credentials

Schools and non-domestic buildings

• Can be applied to a wide range of non-domestic buildings, for example schools and other educational establishments, offices, retail premises, hotels, communal accommodation, community centres and places of worship
• 50% lower carbon emissions than gas boilers, so make significant contribution towards Building Regulations Part L compliance
• Over 70% renewables contribution for heating and hot water, so help with renewables planning consent obligations
• Help reduce long term running and maintenance costs
• Can provide both heating and cooling facilities
• Schools, public sector, charitable and not-for-profit organisations can take advantage of 35% grants against the total installation costs through Low Carbon Buildings Programme Phase 2
