Danfoss Heat Pumps, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of ground and air source heat pumps, will be exhibiting at stand 1960 with a range of heat pumps and experienced staff to assist with your enquiry. With many thousands of installations now in the UK it is clear that Heat Pumps offer a more energy efficient and cost effective method of heating buildings, as well as providing huge environmental benefits.

Danfoss Heat Pumps UK combines over 10 years’ system design and sharp end experience with 30+ years expertise from Danfoss, its Danish manufacturing company providing innovative heat pump technology.

At Ecobuild, Danfoss Heat Pumps UK will be demonstrating its expertise on a wide range of projects, from large scale schools and commercial installations, to working with national housebuilders and smaller developers to supply ground source and air source heat pump technology to meet their exact requirements.

Technical staff from Danfoss Heat Pumps will be on hand to explain how heat pumps work and what the expected coefficiency of performance will be. For every single unit of electricity used to drive a heat pump, at least four units of heat are generated, which equates to around 400 per cent efficiency. This compares to some of the most efficient oil or gas boilers that are around 90 per cent efficient.

Many within the construction industry are looking to reduce their carbon footprint, especially with the introduction of the Code for Sustainable Homes, which means energy efficiency is increasingly on the list of ‘must haves’. Heat pumps can also save up to 75 % in running costs compared to a convention systems, which means it typically pays for itself in 5-7 years. These significant benefits mean that heat pumps are rapidly gaining acceptance in the mainstream housing market.

Phil Moore, Managing Director for Danfoss Heat Pumps, said: “Many architects, developers and contractors are recognising how heat pumps provide a sustainable heating solution with huge environmental benefits. They can play a major part in reducing a property’s carbon footprint, which is becoming ever more important in both the new build and renovation sector. We are looking forward to demonstrating the huge part that heat pumps can play in helping the construction industry meet its sustainability requirements.”
