Reducing a properties carbon footprint can lead to lower energy bills to help combat fuel poverty. ACS Renewable Solutions Ltd is working closely with Local Government and Housing Associations to reduce energy bills and to cut CO2.
Air source heat pumps such as the Mitsubishi Ecodan can immediately help a property achieve Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes and helps lower household running costs.
At the Interbuild Exhibition in October 2008, Ecodan was chosen for the special demonstration Eco-House, which has been designed to achieve Code Level 5.
Ideal for small flats, or large detached properties, an air source heat pump can significantly reduce running costs, lower CO2 emissions and offer reliable, sustainable heating and hot water all year round for the overwhelming majority of homes.
ASHP’s can be easily retro-fitted to almost any property from the 1970’s and older properties that have been thermally upgraded can also benefit from this low carbon alternative to traditional domestic hot water systems.
Maintenance is easier than gas as well, and with a professionally maintained heat pump unit offering an average lifespan of 15 – 20 years, you’ll save on annual maintenance costs too.
In independent tests carried out by the Building Research Establishment, BRE, Ecodan was found to reduce emissions by 50% and running costs by 30% in comparison to a modern gas boiler.
The Feed – In-Tariff (FITs) scheme guarantees a minimum payment for all electricity generated by the system, as well as a separate payment for the electricity exported to grid. These payments are in addition to the bill savings made by using the electricity generated by you.
By replacing the oil fired boiler with an Air Source Heat Pump, for every unit of electricity used to power the pump, 3-4 units of heat can be produced......
ACS Renewable Solutions Ltd, have a growing number of customers throughout England and Wales. Most projects are usually retrofits requiring the removal of a legacy heating system and replacing the old boiler with a new Air Source Heat Pump....
