Highly efficient energy use

Whether you live in a new-build or an existing home, an Ecodan air source heat pumps can work on its own or in conjunction with an existing heating system. It can help cut your energy bills, lower your carbon footprint and earn quarterly payments from the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.

Money-back incentive schemes

In addition to low running costs, Ecodan is recognised by government as a renewable energy source because it harvests free energy from the air. This makes it eligible for seven years of payments from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). You can increase these payments further by adding a Metering, Monitoring Service Package (MMSP) making you eligible for an additional £1,610 payment over the seven years RHI period.

Low noise levels

Ecodan renewable heating is discrete and whisper-quiet, offering flexibility in where you can choose to place it and making it perfect for almost any location.

Self-contained and versatile

Ecodan upgrades freely available heat energy from the air and transfers it to the home to provide hot water and heating for radiators and / or underfloor heating. The Ecodan outdoor unit provides your home with a continuous supply of hot water via a dedicated hot water cylinder. Our hybrid system allows it to work in tandem with your existing boiler.

How an Ecodan system works

1. The outdoor unit

Only requiring electricity and water connections, the outdoor unit is easy to install and can be situated discretely outside your home or in your garden. Ecodan upgrades freely available heat energy from the air and transfers it to your home to provide hot water and heating for radiators and / or underfloor heating.

2. The hot water cylinder

Ecodan provides your home with a continuous supply of hot water via a dedicated hot water cylinder - just like a standard boiler. These cylinders are specifically designed to integrate with the outdoor unit, however in some cases it can also work with your existing hot water cylinder.

3. Energy efficient control

With Ecodan you have the choice of a range of controls including an advance wireless controller, which is a simple room controller with features including holiday mode. You can also download our web-enabled MELCloud controller app to any smart device which allows you to control your system and monitor its performance remotely.

Types of Ecodan

Ecodan air source heat pumps use 1kW of electrical energy input and take 2.2kW of low temperature renewable heat energy from the air, producing a high efficient 3.2kW heat energy output. This heats refrigerant in the system which in turn heats water for domestic hot water and space heating.

Is Ecodan right for you?

Typically installed in less than 2 days, Ecodan heating systems are available in a range of sizes to suit almost any home. To understand which system is right for you, factors such as the age of your property and current heating system; the levels of insulation and the way you use your heating will all affect the final choice.

This is why we recommend getting in an expert by visiting our Installer Finder.

Ecodan renewable heating systems allow Housing Associations to comply with regulations and legislations and are simpler to maintain than gas, removing the need for gas safety certificates. The system can help reduce a property's carbon footprint, simplify maintenance regimes and help tenants combat fuel poverty by reducing household running costs.

We recommend getting in an expert to understand which systems are right for your housing portfolio.

As the UK strives to meet its carbon reduction targets, renewable heating systems have been recognised as an important part of the solution. This is why the Government is encouraging the installation of heat pumps as the low carbon alternative to gas, oil and LGP heating.

The Ecodan range is ideal for new build homes and self-build / pre-fab home projects as it perfectly adheres to Building Regulations and any renewable targets set by the local authority. With Ecodan renewable heating systems only requiring electricity and water connecitons, it is ideal for areas off the National Gas Grid.

We recommend getting in an expert to understand which system is right for your project.

With an Ecodan air source heat pump there is no need for groundwork preparations such as pipework. The Ecodan system can be easily mounted outside of the home at a convenient location such as an alleyway or garden. It is also compatible with underfloor heating which is popular in self-build properties.

Customer Stories

We run it at 22 degrees 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are toasty. We have full time confidence that we will be warm, that cost is not an issue and our arthritis has been less painful.

John Lewis
Homeowner

The ground floor is lovely and warm when we get up in the morning and we've hardly needed the heating on upstairs as the eco-house retains such a lot of heat

Maureen Fox
Homeowner

The system has quickly adapted to suit our lifestyle and controls both the heat pump and the gas boiler, so we really don't need to worry about anything

Case Studies

Ecodan vs other solutions

In comparison to a gas boiler, Ecodan air source heat pumps can be used off the gas grid because the only input required is electricity. Ecodan is the renewable alternative to a gas boiler and produces heating and hot water with lower running costs and less carbon emissions.

As gas boiler has to heat water to a high temperature and will produce less than 1kW of heat energy for every kW of gas consumed. A heat pump on the other hand harvests renewable energy from the outdoor air so will produce 3 or more kW of heat energy for every kW of electricity consumed.

In comparison to an oil system, an Ecodan air source heat pump is more efficient, creates less carbon emissions and has lower operating costs. Also as they only use electricity and harvest heat energy from the air, there is no need to worry about fuel deliveries.

An Ecodan air source heat pump will have the largest noticeable impact on your bills and carbon reduction output if you have a direct electric system.

Highly versatile and compatible

Whether installed in small flats, or large detached properties, Ecodan can reduce running costs, lower CO2 emissions and offer reliable, sustainable heating and hot water all year around for the majority of homes and small commercial properties.

Ecodan can be installed to replace an existing heating system or work alongside it in a hybrid set up. It can be installed into a new build or renovation project and is even compatible with under floor heating. It is also simpler to maintain than other heating systems such as gas, and with professional maintenance it can offer an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years.

Advance energy monitoring

Energy monitoring comes as standard on all Ecodan models. Mitsubishi Electric has also developed Energy Monitoring Packs (EMP’s) to suit every domestic application. These packs are ideal for users needing exact consumption figures, such as housing associations. They also help with payback claims for government incentives like the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and Metering and Monitoring Service Packs (MMSP).

Claim money back with RHI and MMSP

The Renewable Heat Incentive is the world’s first long term financial support for the generation of renewable heat. This scheme will pay money to homeowners, housing associations and self-builders who choose to install renewable technologies like Ecodan air source heat pumps. This creates a financial saving for the owner of the system and makes a contribution toward carbon reduction and renewable targets for the UK.

As part of the Renewable Heat Incentive, the Government has also financially incentivised the use of metering and monitoring service packs (MMSP). This means the owner of the system can receive an extra payment of £230 per annum over the 7 year length of the Renewable Heat Incentive. To have a pack fitted to your Ecodan system, please contact your installer.

How to Claim RHI

Service and maintenance

Mitsubishi Electric has developed a range of service and maintenance plans to support Ecodan heating systems and give homeowners, housing associations and self-builders affordable peace of mind.

Three levels of cover are available to provide the absolute confidence that the Ecodan heating system will be professionally maintained and, in the unlikely event of a fault, quickly repaired by our highly skilled engineers.
