heat pump

Mitsubishi Electric is proud to announce the expansion of its highly efficient and environmentally friendly Ecodan R290 heat pump range. Following the successful launch of the 5kW and 6kW models in October 2023, the range now extends to include 8.5kW, 10kW, and 12kW models—offering a powerful, low-carbon heating solution for larger homes and properties with higher heat loss.

The UK’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 is more than a climate target—it is a societal imperative. It intersects with the housing crisis and energy poverty, but recent assessments indicate that we are behind schedule. Meeting the sixth carbon budget and achieving an 81% emissions reduction by 2035, as recommended by the Climate Change Committee (CCC), will require bold action and financial innovation. Crucially, this includes transforming how we heat homes, as heating accounts for a third of emissions. The financial tipping point—when renewable heating solutions like heat pumps become not just environmentally preferable but economically accessible—is central to progress. Housing Association Magazine’s Joe Bradbury discusses:

It is essential to ensure that heat pumps installations in social housing performs as designed and with minimal issues for residents. Here James Griffiths Projects Manager at GF Building Flow Solutions (formerly Uponor) outlines how the correct pipework specification can help ensure optimal system performance, simplify installation and prevent future issues.

The UK has set a target to reach net zero by 2050 and with around 40% of the UK’s total carbon emissions coming from residential properties, a shift to low carbon heating is required if we are to meet this objective.
