Celebrity Endorsement for Air Source Heat Pump Technology!

DECC (Department for Energy and Climate Change) figures released in November of 2011 indicated that, of the 24 social housing owners who had secured up to £175,000 in the government's phase 1 of the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive), the majority had chosen to use air source heat pump systems in their properties. The Energy Saving Trust stated that the 53% who had selected the ASHP technology had probably done so due to the ease with which the systems can be retro-fitted to existing housing stock. This renewable energy solution is also a firm favourite amongst domestic users. Of the 2,680 vouchers which have been allocated through the RHPP (Renewable Heat Premium Payment) scheme, a forerunner of the RHI, 921 were for the installation of air source heat pump systems.

The technology has also won celebrity endorsement. The McDonald Engineering Company from Fife, Scotland have reported that one of their hi-tech ECOflow heating cylinders has been used as part of the ASHP installation during the refurbishment of a property belonging to the ex 'Mr Katie Price', Peter Andre!

Governmental Recognition for Oxfordshire Supplier

It was over 10 years ago that Oxfordshire based, Ice Energy Technology became the first UK company to see the full potential offered by the emerging heat pump technology as a viable renewable energy solution. Since then, they have established their place within the market and have supplied well over 6,000 ASHP projects around the UK; more than any of their competitors in the sector.

The company are committed to supplying the best of the new sustainable technology to consumers, delivering an alternative to the traditional methods of providing heat and hot water to our homes. Their mission statement has always been to put an end to fuel poverty and offer a cleaner, greener more economically stable lifestyle for the householders of the UK. Their preferred ASHP systems are made by Mitsubish. The Ecodan range of units offers outstanding levels of efficiency and performance with a capability of heat generation at temperatures as low as -25 degrees.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, recently visited the Oxfordshire Head Office of Ice Energy Technology, spending time talking to the team and discussing the range of renewable energy solutions on offer. He was reported to be particularly interested in the economic savings which could be made and the environmental benefits which would help meet the country's commitment to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
