A new website from Mitsubishi Electric aims to highlight the future of residential heating to both consumers and installers alike with an easy to use site dedicated to Ecodan® the company’s award-winning low carbon heating system.
Ecodan is an advanced form of air source heat pump which harvests free energy from the ambient air to provide heating and hot water. The system has already received recognition from the Environment and Energy Awards 2008 with the judges praising Mitsubishi Electric for its far sightedness, saying that whilst air source technology was not new, the company had… “packaged Ecodan into a neat unit that could prove acceptable to the environmentally-savvy domestic user who wants to do his/her bit to cut carbon emissions”.
The system will work with both radiators and underfloor heating and offers hard-pressed homeowners savings on their fuel bills of up to 36% over traditional gas boilers and up to 45% on oil-fired systems. More importantly for the country, Ecodan offers huge reductions in CO2 emissions over other forms of heating.
A visit to www.mitsubishielectric.co.uk/heating will explain the benefits of air source heat pumps over other forms of heating, provide answers to general questions and offer plumbers and other installation professionals easy instructions on how to become an accredited installer.
“We believe Ecodan will continue to win over other alternatives to gas heating not only because of the simplicity of installation, but also because it offers fantastic savings in people’s fuel bills,” commented John Kellett, General Manager of the Heating Department.
Ecodan, which is the company’s first domestic heating product in the UK, runs off a normal domestic electric circuit and can be installed by a suitably qualified plumber who has been on the one-day accreditation course. It doesn’t need CORGI and it doesn’t need F-Gas as the refrigerant circuit is self-contained and factory sealed.
Ecodan is different from other heat pump systems because it has been designed specifically for the UK residential sector.
