Low-Carbon Heat: Air Source Heat Pumps for Commercial Buildings

As buildings move away from gas, air source heat pumps are becoming the default answer for efficient, low-carbon heating and hot water. Done well, they cut both carbon and running costs — done badly, they never quite keep the building warm.

Sized and specified for the building

A heat pump only performs if it's designed around the building it serves — flow temperatures, emitter sizing, hot water demand and controls all matter. WM Maintain designs, installs and services commercial air source heat pump systems, including hybrid setups that work alongside existing plant during the transition.

Servicing that protects efficiency

A heat pump's efficiency drifts quietly as refrigerant, coils and controls degrade. As an F-Gas certified company, we service heat pump systems on planned schedules — refrigerant checks, controls and component inspection — so they keep delivering the low running costs and low carbon they were installed for.
