Businesses could cut nearly three quarters of their carbon emissions under a bespoke heat pump service offered by Britain’s 100% renewable electricity supplier.
Good Energy is offering small to medium-sized firms looking to switch to a cleaner and more efficient heating solution a tailor-made heat pump consultation.
The greener alternative to gas boilers is a smart choice for UK businesses looking to save money and cut carbon emissions.
To help, Good Energy is offering a free consultation to businesses to discuss their specific heating requirements. This will inform a bespoke installation that can help save money on future energy bills.
Operations Director, Max Waddingham, oversees Good Energy’s commercial heat pump projects across the UK. He said: “If a business can be heated with a traditional appliance, it can almost certainly be heated with a heat pump. Air source heat pumps are becoming a well-established and widely used smart upgrade to heating systems, but it’s important businesses know how easy they are to install too and that’s where our service comes in.
“We specialise in bespoke heat pump installations that cover a wide range of commercial buildings, alongside converted buildings and listed properties – especially in rural areas. Ultimately, we can upgrade your infrastructure to help your business control costs, build resilience into your operations and meet your net-zero goals.”
Good Energy’s commercial heat pump installation service also checks business eligibility to receive different funding options. For example, one option could be the £7,500 grant through the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Businesses can pair this with solar panels and a 100% renewable electricity tariff to fully decarbonise their energy usage.
Electricity is currently four-times more expensive than gas, due in part to additional environmental taxes levied on it. However, the greater efficiency of an air source heat pump can offset this, helping businesses to save energy costs.
How do they work?
• Air source heat pumps use ambient heat from the air to heat buildings and provide hot water. They produce more heat than they consume electricity, making them highly energy efficient.
• While electricity supplements this heating to ensure consistent temperatures throughout a building, the primary energy source is naturally occurring. And, as the technology improves and fossil fuel price fluctuations continue to disrupt markets, heat pumps are on course to become the cheapest, lowest carbon form of heating available.
Commercial heat pump units are typically taller than domestic models and feature dual fans to deliver greater output. So smaller sites without much room for heating equipment can often be accommodated with compact units, while larger buildings may require multiple units working in tandem to meet higher heat demands.
