With the UK now intensifying its efforts to meet net-zero targets, Heat pumps are now a cornerstone of national strategies to decarbonise buildings, for good reason. At CO2PEC, we’re extremely proud to be playing a key role in supporting & introducing the rollout of heat pump systems across the UK— helping to deliver high performance, low carbon solutions to schools, leisure centres, and local authorities.
🌍 Why Heat Pumps Matter
Heat pumps are a keystone of the UK’s heat decarbonisation plan. Replacing inefficient fossil fuel boilers with efficient, electrically driven heat pumps can potentially help to reduce emissions by up to 70–80%—even more can be achieved when paired with renewable electricity.
At CO2PEC, our focus is on natural refrigerant heat pumps. We specialize in these systems due to the fact they offer an even lower environmental impact, utilizing refrigerants like CO₂ (R744), propane (R290), and isobutane (R600a). These are natural gases with minimal global warming potential compared to their synthetic equivalents & can help you to make a greater environmental impact.
🛠️ Our Role in the Rollout
CO2PEC supports the heat pump transition through:
- UK-Built Products
CO2PEC specialise in & only install high efficiency heat pumps specifically for the UK market. They meet the high demands of real-world operation including high flow temperatures, low noise and compatibility with existing UK heating systems. Another benefit in being manufactured in the UK is that it also lessens their carbon footprint. - Turnkey Installation Services
From initial feasibility to final commissioning, we handle full project delivery from start to finish offering peace of mind and a seamless experience. - PSDS Project Expertise
We have a strong track record in helping our clients deliver Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme projects, ensuring they meet Salix compliance requirements and tight deadlines. - Performance Monitoring & Support
After installation, CO2PEC offer ongoing performance monitoring, optimisation, and technical support to ensure long term savings and reliability.
🏫 Real-World Impact
We’ve delivered successful heat pump projects across the UK. Recent highlights include:
- Clifton Hill School: Replaced an ageing gas system with a CO₂ heat pump, improving efficiency while reducing emissions and operational costs.
- Lingfield Primary School: Switched from gas heating to a modern low-carbon system, funded by PSDS and supported with a host of secondary measures, including Solar PV.
