Increasingly stringent legislation and escalating fuel costs make heat pumps the ideal choice for so many applications, both domestic and non domestic.

Whether for new build or retro-fit, for self builders, commercial housing developments or schools; 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

  • Ideal for stock refurbishment projects as a means to meeting Decent Homes standards and tackling fuel poverty, particularly in off gas-grid areas.
  • Significant CO2 emission savings over other fuels, helping compliance with higher levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
  • Negligible maintenance requirements.
  • Significant grant funding oportunities available through CERT.





Housing Developments

  • Up to 50% CO2 savings over fossils fuelled systems helps towards Building Regulations Part L / Code for Sustainable Homes compliance.
  • Heat pumps formally accepted as a “Renewable” technology so meet local planning authority requirements to incorporate renwable energy in new buildings (Planning Policy Statement 22 / “Merton Rule”).
  • Will make a significant contribution towards high EPC scores.
  • Highly marketable “Eco” credentials and low end-user running costs for heating / hot water.





Flats and Apartments

  • Multiple high output ground or air source units commonly linked together to provide central plant space/water heating for multioccupancy dwellings.
  • Up to 50% CO2 savings over fossil fuelled systems helps towards Building Regulations Part L / Code for Sustainable Homes compliance.
  • Significant cost reduction over installing individual heat pumps in each apartment.
  • Efficiency benefits of communal systems recognised by SAP.





Self Builders

  • 50% lower CO2 emissions than gas boilers, so help make a significant contribution towards Building Regulations Part L compliance, particularly with contemporary styled homes with large glazed areas.
  • High renewable energy contribution so helps ease planning consent.
  • Requires electrical infrastructure only, so ideal for off gas-grid areas.
  • Makes a significant contribution to lower home energy bills.
  • Can be used for energy-efficient swimming pool heating in the summer months.





Education

  • Ongoing schools building programmes can benefit from heat pump systems that improve the environmental footprint and reduce running and operational costs.
  • Able to meet governmental targets for 60% renewable energy in new schools projects.
  • Can be utilised to provide a valuable learning tool for students.







Retail and Commerce

  • Heat pumps meet the increasing local authority requirements to incorporate renewable energy within the energy profile of new buildings (Planning Policy Statement 22 / “Merton Rule”).
  • Significant CO2 savings over fossil fuelled systems help towards building regulations compliance.
  • Many developers investing in “green” buildings with low energy costs in the knowledge that they can attract premium rent/lease values.
  • Ability to provide energy efficient heating and cooling from a single system optimises capital investment.




Leisure and Residential

  • Growing take up in the leisure / hotels sector to reduce consumption and CO2 emissions, particularly where mains gas is not available.
  • Typical uses include swimming pool heating, hot water production, space heating and cooling.
  • Reversible units with heat recovery ideal for utilising waste heat for swimming pool or water heating.
  • Multiple air source units commonly linked together to provide central plant space/water heating for multi-occupancy dwellings such as care homes.





Public and Community

  • Dimplex heat pumps are already installed in a wide range of public and community buildings, both new build and refurbished, allowing them to benefit from lower fuel bills and reduced CO2 emissions.
  • Typical installations include:
    - Visitor centres- Village halls- Community centres- Emergency service buildings (fire stations, mountain rescue centres, lifeboat stations)- Libraries- Places of worship
  • Funding available through the Community Sustainable Energy Programme (CSEP).
