Located in Sefton, North Liverpool and dating back to 1859, The Northern Club occupies a privately run sports venue built in the early 1900s and offers facilities for cricket, crown green bowling, squash and hockey.
The historic building presented a significant heating challenge. The club worked closely with installer partner TDC and Mitsubishi Electric to develop a heat pump system suited to the age and construction of the building. This involved the installation of three Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-AP71/MSZ-AP71 air-to-air heat pump systems which provide rapid heating during the winter and cooling throughout the summer. These are also Wi-Fi enabled via the MELCloud app, allowing the club to manage temperatures, operating modes and schedules remotely.

“Before the installation, I would arrive at the club at 6am and switch on one of the gas boilers, but by 3pm the room would only have reached around 15°C,” said Wendy McDowall, President of The Northern Club. “Now I can switch the heat pumps on and within ten minutes the room reaches a comfortable temperature, and they automatically maintain it throughout the day. I only wish we had installed them years ago.”
The partnership has seen the club enter a planned preventative maintenance contract with TDC, a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Quality Partner, with the equipment also covered by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
“The Northern Club needed a heating and cooling solution that would allow its rooms to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year, while working around the challenges of retrofitting an ageing building,” said Jo Lambert, Air Conditioning Expert at Mitsubishi Electric. “By providing a system that aligns with the clubhouse’s specific requirements, the Northern Club can now benefit from energy-efficient heating during the colder months and the relief of cooling when temperatures rise, creating comfortable spaces for members and guests to enjoy whatever the season.”
