What is a commercial air source heat pump?

A commercial air source heat pump is a low-carbon heating system that extracts heat from the outside air and upgrades it to produce hot water for business and light industrial applications. It's designed to handle larger demand than domestic units, making it ideal for hotels, leisure facilities, healthcare buildings, and educational sites.

How much energy can commercial air source heat pumps save?

Commercial air source heat pumps can deliver up to three times more thermal energy than the electricity they consume by drawing renewable heat from the surrounding air and upgrading it for hot water production. This results in lower energy bills and a measurable reduction in carbon footprint for businesses.

What is the seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) for Adveco heat pumps?

Adveco's commercial air source heat pumps achieve excellent seasonal coefficients of performance (SCOP) year-round, designed specifically for the UK's varied climate. The systems maintain high efficiency from mild summer days to the coldest winter mornings, ensuring reliable performance throughout all seasons.

Are commercial air source heat pumps suitable for retrofit projects?

Yes, commercial air source heat pumps are suitable for retrofit projects. Adveco often recommends a hybrid approach for retrofits, using the heat pump for pre-heating then topping up to 60°C with a direct electric or gas-fired system to meet peak demand and maintain water safety standards, while still achieving significant energy savings.

What capacity range is available for Adveco commercial air source heat pumps?

Adveco offers a comprehensive range of commercial air source heat pumps from compact 6kW models for small commercial premises up to large-capacity 110kW systems for hotels, leisure centres, healthcare facilities, and educational campuses. This range covers every scale of project and can be configured in modular designs for even larger capacities.

How do commercial air source heat pumps help businesses achieve net zero targets?

Commercial air source heat pumps harness ambient air as a renewable heat source, cutting reliance on fossil fuels and helping to lower Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Combined with Adveco's expertise in hybrid hot water systems, they achieve exceptional efficiencies and reduced running costs, supporting businesses working towards net zero targets and futureproofing against tightening environmental regulations.

What support does Adveco provide with commercial air source heat pump installations?

Adveco provides comprehensive support including bespoke application design tailored to your building's unique requirements, expert supply and commissioning for optimal performance from day one, and ongoing technical support including troubleshooting and routine maintenance. Live metering is also available to track performance in real time and support funding or compliance reporting.

What size commercial air source heat pump do I need?

The recommended route is to work with a heating engineer or technical consultant who can survey your premises and make a recommendation based on accurate measurements. The main factors that influence sizing are: Heating season hot water demand, measured in litres per hour Peak demand: size your system so that peak hot water requirements can be covered by the ASHP alone Estimated COP/SCOP rating your heat pump will achieve, which varies depending on temperature requirements, heat loss and the appliances paired with the heat pump Temperature requirements: 60°C+ is a legal requirement for commercial DHW applications. Heat pumps may struggle to efficiently achieve this as a primary heat source, so are best deployed as a pre-heat function in hybrid setups with a high temperature gas or electric primary heater, though this depends on your premises

Will a commercial air source heat pump work in my building?

In many cases, yes. Like all heating technology, commercial air source heat pumps work best when they are commissioned correctly. For DHW applications a heat pump will typically need to be implemented as part of a wider system to maximise operational efficiencies. Get in touch and we can advise on your individual circumstances.

How much do commercial air source heat pumps cost?

Due to the bespoke nature of commercial air source heat pump installations there is no standard price that fits every building. Give us a call or drop us an email using the contact details at the bottom of this page and we discus your needs,and provide a detailed quotation for your project.

How long do commercial air source heat pumps last?

Typical air source heat pumps have a working life of between 15 and 20 years. Commercial units that have been correctly installed and receive routine maintenance will often last longer. Call today to speak with one of our commercial heat pump specialists.
