Direct purchase from suppliers
Businesses can buy heat pumps directly from manufacturers or authorised suppliers. Many reputable heat pump manufacturers have a network of distributors or dealers across the UK, making it easy for businesses to purchase the equipment.
Engage with HVAC contractors
HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) contractors and installers specialise in heat pump installations. Businesses can seek out experienced and certified contractors to assess their heating and cooling needs, provide expert advice and carry out professional installations.
Funding schemes
Various funding schemes and grants exist for businesses looking to invest in renewable energy technologies, including heat pumps. These grants and funding opportunities are often provided by government departments or local authorities and aim to encourage businesses to adopt low-carbon technologies.
Energy service companies (ESCOs)
Businesses can work with ESCOs that offer energy-efficient solutions and may provide heat pumps as part of a comprehensive energy management service. ESCOs often design, finance, install and maintain energy-saving projects, including heat pump installations.
Leasing and financing
Some companies specialise in leasing heat pump equipment to businesses. Leasing arrangements allow businesses to access heat pumps without the upfront cost and the leasing company typically handles maintenance and servicing.
Consultation with energy consultants
Energy auditors and consultants can help businesses assess their energy usage, identify potential areas for improvement and recommend appropriate heat pump solutions tailored to their needs.
