Mitsubishi Ecodan chosen for retrofit installation

Residents of A1 Housing Association in Nottinghamshire are benefiting from reliable low cost, low carbon heating from Mitsubishi Electric's Ecodan air source heat pumps.

The 5kW Ecodan units were retrofitted into eight bungalows run by A1 Housing, which works in partnership with Bassetlaw District Council after taking over the management of Council homes in North Nottinghamshire, in 2004.

Ecodan was specified as it is the least invasive way of retro-fitting new heating into these properties, which were previously heated with Economy Seven storage heaters.

Ecodan is proven to cut fuel bills and emissions over traditional heating systems, while delivering reliable heating throughout the year.

The Ecodan unit is fitted to the outside of the property and uses advanced technology taken from the commercial heating sector, delivering very quiet operation.

Michael Booth of Matthews and Tannert, who installed the Ecodan units, said: "We have been trained and approved by Mitsubishi Electric to install Ecodan and realised early on what the potential is for this unit".

"Ecodan is much smaller, lighter and quieter than other air source heat pumps that we've looked at and maintenance is simple and much cheaper to service than gas boilers," he added.
