Ecodan air source heat pumps reduce fuel bills for new Withington development(02/12/2008)
The average UK household produces over 5 tonnes of CO2 per year with space and water heating accounting for more than 73 per cent of this. By using free energy from the outside air, Mitsubishi Electric’s Ecodan, the easy to install, low carbon alternative to a traditional gas or oil boiler, can dramatically reduce home running costs and CO2 emissions. A new development of 19 houses in Withington, Hereford, is benefiting from Mitsubishi Electric’s Ecodan unit – the heating and hot water system which helps to reduce household fuel bills by up to 30% and CO2 emissions by up to 50%. Herefordshire Council’s Planning Department wanted the whole development to be 25% better than current Building Regulations (Part L) which is the energy requirement for Level 3 of the Government’s Code for...

Mitsubishi Electric helps businesses and households reduce energy consumption and cut heating bills(14/10/2008)
Mitsubishi Electric highlighted the ways in which we can all save energy in our built environment on its stand at the Energy Solutions Expo, where it demonstrated its range of air source and ground source heating products and its PWFY water heating unit.

Ecodan air source heat pump system uses free energy from the outside air to provide central heating and hot water(29/09/2008)
A family home of Mr and Mrs Fox in the small Wiltshire village of Collingbourne Ducis, Marlborough, is setting the standard for eco-friendly housing. The 300 year-old house has moved away from traditional oil-fired central heating systems and now benefits from an Ecodan air source heat pump system which uses free energy from the outside air to provide central heating and hot water. The average UK household produces over five tonnes of CO2 per year with space and water heating accounting for more than 73% of this - Ecodan can cut these emissions by up to 50%. However, this energy that surrounds us - a key sustainable resource - doesn’t currently factor into many people’s thinking. Mrs Fox estimates that by converting to Mitsubishi Electric’s Ecodan system, the family should save a... [read full article]

Mark Group launches carbon reducing boiler system (09/11/2007)
Mark Group have launched a new carbon reducing boiler system.
