Mitsubishi Electric - Low Carbon Heating

Low Carbon Heating - Air Source Heat Pumps - Air to Water Heat Pumps

Ecodan® Heat Pumps

Mitsubishi Electric has introduced the future of viable, mass market, low carbon residential heating with the award-winning Ecodan air source heat pump systems.

Manufactured in Scotland, Ecodan is accredited under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and is eligible for CERT Funding, to offer homes a viable, low carbon alternative to gas and oil heating.

Specifically designed for the UK, Ecodan is as ‘plug and play’ as possible, with quiet, inverter control to regulate energy consumption.

Equally important in these days of fuel poverty, Ecodan can reduce a home’s fuel bills compared with oil, older gas boilers, LPG and direct electric.

The average 3-bedroomed home produces around 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year and if we can find ways to significantly reduce this amount then we could really make a difference - house by house.

Ecodan can help new homes achieve Levels 3 and 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes and is also ideal for retro-fit projects where the property has been thermally upgraded. This makes Ecodan suitable for the majority of UK properties.

Any alternatives to traditional methods of heating our homes need to be easy to adopt, yet other alternatives remain unproven, depend on how brightly the sun shines or how hard the wind blows, are far too expensive, require complex equipment and installation, or in the case of biomass boilers, leave the homeowner with waste to dispose of.

This is where Ecodan can provide an answer, by reducing CO2 emissions compared to other forms of heating.

Ecodan runs on a single-phase electrical circuit and delivers these levels of efficiencies even when the inefficiencies of the national grid are taken into account. As greener sources of electricity become available, the efficiency (and cost) gap between Ecodan and other forms of heating will grow.

The award-winning Ecodan range is the first UK-manufactured air source heap pump to achieve an approved Ofgem carbon score which can be used for both CERT (carbon emissions reductions target) and CESP (community energy saving programme) funding schemes.

Easy to install, maintain and operate, Ecodan is also the only UK-manufactured air source heat pump to have been awarded the prestigious Eco-Label because of its environmental credentials.
