Meeting domestic hot water (DHW) demands with commercial gas and electric water heaters, boilers, cylinders, packaged plate heat exchangers and electric immersion kits.
Commercial heating support with ranges of floor-standing and wall-hung gas boilers, carbon steel heating buffers and thermal storage.
Addressing sustainability through the integration of solar thermal, Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) and boxed heat recovery.
Smart control systems for increased efficiency and managed transition via hybrid approaches that extend the life of viable systems while addressing the need to reduce carbon.
Bringing all these varied elements together is Adveco’s packaged plant room offering, a bespoke prefabricated system build that makes full use of vacant space whilst leveraging all the advantages of offsite construction for hybrid and all-electric hot water and heating applications.

Hospitality need not cost the earth

Embrace sustainability with quietly efficient air source heat pumps (ASHP) and solar thermal systems to offset as much as 70% of your heating energy demands

Secure and reuse ‘free’ heat otherwise wasted from walk-in freezers or chilled spaces in kitchens

Regain valuable space within the building that can be converted into rooms by relocating hot water and heating plant to unused exterior spaces, including flat roofs, with built-to-order prefabricated plant rooms

Why Choose Adveco for Your Next Renewable Restaurant, Catering & Hospitality

Become more versatile

Ensure your hot water system reflects the changing demands of service, as restaurants define eating out on their own terms. Meeting the challenge of unpredictable dining habits and improving work-life balance for both kitchen and front of house teams has seen restaurants experiment with single sittings, lunch closures, as well as bringing forward final seating times to avoid late night closure. Prioritising staff and customer needs means a shift in peak demands for hot water, from preparation, to washbasin, to clean down. Adveco’s bespoke application designs, controls and metering give restaurant owners and operators the power to define their needs and ensure demands are met in the most efficient, cost-effective manner, no matter the operational changes to dining service now and in the future as the market continues to recover to and beyond its pre-pandemic value.

Repurposing Buildings As Restaurants

The simplified planning process allowing shops, offices, and service spaces to be converted into restaurants without local authority consent has opened up exciting opportunities in the food service industry. This is particularly beneficial for chains refurbishing High Street buildings and revitalizing suburban areas, catering to those working from home.

At Adveco, we understand the complexities and hidden costs of converting spaces not originally designed as restaurants. Heating and hot water are critical, with adequate storage required to meet peak demand and maintain a minimum of 60°C for hygiene.

We assess each site’s needs, design custom systems, and supply all necessary components. From listed buildings to large-scale projects like those for Five Guys, we help clients install efficient, cost-saving systems that reduce carbon emissions or eliminate them with renewable energy for a more sustainable future.

Live Metering – The most cost-effective and efficient path to sustainability for your restaurant.

If you need assistance with a system for your restaurant, then Adveco’s Live Metering service is for you. Live Metering requires an Adveco engineer to visit your site and install a water meter to provide hot water temperature monitoring for verified water data and comment on the risk of the existing system.

Adveco will return within the month to collect the meter. During these visits we can confirm space and clearances, and installation suitability, and once we have analysed the data give a truly accurate sizing and emissions/costs calculation.

Quick, non-evasive temporary installation
Visual site assessment & reporting by Adveco engineer
Consistent 6 minute data 24 hours per day on existing hot water systems
50% of monitoring fee deducted if system recommendation purchased from Adveco
Bespoke theoretical hot water modelling optimised to work with a building’s existing electrical supply
Daily & annual hot water demands
Annual estimated energy consumption
Annual estimated carbon emissions
Annual estimated operational costs

Adveco can then advise on a new hot water system which meets the demands of a building while increasing efficiency, lowering carbon emissions, and managing costs.

Heat Pumps For Net Zero Restaurants & Bars

Under the right circumstances, such as new builds with a high degree of insulation, air source heat pumps (ASHP) represent an efficient way to significantly reduce the carbon emissions from hotel buildings. As the cost of grid electricity closes on that of gas, ongoing savings garnered from operating a hybrid ASHP based system, plus the reduction in CO₂ emissions makes the technology a truly attractive prospect for new build projects.

Sustainable Refurbishment With Solar Thermal

For existing restaurants and buildings that are being repurposed as restaurants, so long as they already have a gas connection can take real advantage of solar thermal for their hot water provision. A proven and extremely reliable technology, which, when correctly designed and sized to the application, offers a clear path to reducing CO₂ emissions.

Electric Water Heating for Restaurants

Electric boilers and water heaters help to meet the demands being made of the restaurant sector to cut carbon emissions in line with net zero strategies. Increasingly less reliant on fossil fuels for generation, using the electricity grid is increasingly being specified as a cleaner energy source for water heating. Whether new build or the transformational refurbishment of existing commercial buildings, electrically powered systems provide an efficient, futureproof means for delivering fast, efficient heating for domestic hot water production or central heating needs.

Adveco appliances support a range of projects with wall-mounted and floor-standing systems to cater to the wide needs of restaurant buildings. Packaged hybrid electric systems also offer a more compact, resilient, fast-to-install and easier-to-maintain alternative for those wishing to avoid a reliance on gas energy supplies.

Gas Water Heating for Restaurants

Restaurant buildings with large hot water demands and an existing gas connection may continue to take advantage of this lower-cost energy resource to heat water. Whilst strongly urged to adopt a more environmentally friendly approach to heating a building’s water, many leisure organisations will still find value in remaining on gas. With minimal disturbance for business continuity if replacement is required, manageable capital investment and low operational costs this familiar technology remains a popular replacement option when older appliances fail.

For buildings already on the gas network and seeking to gain lower carbon status, replacement gas-fired appliances working in conjunction with heat pumps or solar thermal provide a familiar, practical, highly effective means for offsetting gas demands to lower carbon emissions of legacy gas-only water heating systems.

Adveco supports restaurant projects with the latest generation of condensing gas water heaters. Harnessing cutting-edge materials, production and energy management technology, it is now easier than ever to maximise fuel use, cutting energy demands, running costs and carbon emissions. All new gas water heaters are also able to support future gas sources with up to 20% blended hydrogen without any alteration. This makes gas water heaters an excellent bridging technology for existing buildings, future-proofing systems in preparation for potentially larger investment decisions in the future as the nationwide net zero strategy is finalised.
