How Heat Pumps Are Changing Commercial Heating Across the UK

The Business Case for Switching from Gas Boilers to Heat Pumps

Gas prices have proven volatile and regulations on carbonemissions are tightening. For every unit of electricity a heat pump consumes,it typically delivers three to four units of heat.  This is significantly more efficient than atraditional gas boiler.

The upfront cost of a commercial heat pump installation ishigher than replacing a gas boiler like for like. But when running costs,carbon savings and the direction of travel on energy regulation are factoredin, the business case for making the switch is increasingly compelling.

How Commercial Buildings Can Meet Net Zero Targets withHVAC Upgrades

For businesses with net zero commitments, commercial HVACsystems are often one of the largest sources of carbon emissions on site. Heatpump installation is the most impactful single upgrade available for mostcommercial buildings. Hybrid systems combining heat pumps with existing gasboilers can also be a cost effective intermediate step.

Beyond heat pump installation, HVAC energy upgradesincluding EC fan replacement, advanced controls and AHU refurbishment candeliver significant reductions in energy consumption without the cost of a fullsystem replacement.
