How an Ecodan system works
Ecodan Brand Ambassador
The way we design, build, heat, power and recycle our homes needs to change and change quickly and renewable heating is an important part of our future. I’m therefore delighted to associate myself with the market-leading brand of heat pumps which are built here in the UK and which can help reduce energy bills and lower emissions for almost any home
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.
PUHZ
The Ecodan PUHZ monobloc air source heat pump range includes 5, 8.5, 11.2 and 14kW sizes.
Best suited for:
- All types of home
- Small commercial buildings
- Other residential premises
QUHZ
The Ecodan QUHZ is our latest air to water heat pump system and is the ideal for properties with a low heating capacity.
Best suited for:
- Small homes
- Apartments/ flats
- Homes with a high domestic water requirement
Hybrid systems
Hybrid Ecodan heating systems work in tandem with an existing boiler.
Best suited for:
- All types of home
- Small commercial buildings
- Other residential premises
Is Ecodan right for you?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
