Heat pumps and commercial air conditioning are efficient ways to heat and cool your business. Energy-efficient HVAC solutions can also reduce your environmental impact and create the ideal work environment. Here’s how.
A heat pump utilises renewable energy sources, such as air, water, and ground heat, to power your heating system. Heat pump electrical usage is also incredibly economical, generating between 2 and 5kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity used.
Whether you’re using a heat pump for cooling or heating, here’s what to expect in terms of performance.
Even when the temperature drops below freezing, air source heat pumps can extract warmth to power your heating system. This warm air causes the refrigerant in your pump to turn into a gas, which is then heated by the compressor. The energy produced is then used to heat your premises.
In a ground-source or geothermal system, natural heat from the ground is harnessed using a ground loop that contains water and antifreeze. The heated fluid is then compressed and then passed through a heat exchanger. This energy can then be used to heat your property.
There are many benefits to installing a heat pump for your business:
As UK summers get hotter, workplace air conditioning (AC) is becoming more and more essential. Here’s why:

There are naturally some significant costs involved in installing energy-efficient HVAC solutions. These costs can vary depending on the type:
Commercial heat pump installation costs vary depending on the size of your business premises and the number of units required. Expect to pay between £6,000 and £18,000, including installation.
Studies have shown that your business could make savings of £3,000 or 51% of your average running costs, depending on the level of insulation.
Depending on the size of your property and the type of air conditioning system you install, the average installation cost ranges between £5,000 and £50,000. For example, split system units for a small office range from £1,500 to £3,000 each, while a VRF/VRV System for larger premises can cost up to £75,000.
A single split unit costs around £53.00 per month to run, depending on your energy tariff.
When it comes to larger systems, scheduling Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Maintenance, including leak checks, is indispensable for reducing running costs.
Your business may be eligible for heat pump funding of up to £7,500 if:
You’ll also require a valid EPC for your property.
If your business isn’t eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, contact your energy supplier for information on grants or energy efficiency schemes.
