TVRL - Heat Pumps

HEAT PUMPS

Trent Valley Refrigeration Ltd can undertake projects which involve Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) or Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) to meet the needs of either Residential or Commercial end users.

Air Source, Exhaust Air & Ground Source Heat pumps for the domestic residential market is a relatively new concept in the UK however the principle and technology used is one we are very familiar with in our Heat Pump air conditioning installations.

TVR Ltd can design and install GSHP or ASHP systems to provide space heating and domestic hot water for new build or retrofit projects as required.

New builds may require smaller capacity units than their retrofit counterparts due to improved insulation values required to meet current building regulations.

Retrofit projects may require a system capable of delivering higher water temperatures to enable existing radiators etc to be reused.

Government grants may be available on your project to encourage the use of this green technology.

It is now a legal requirement for HP systems >12Kw capacity to have an Energy Performance Certificate, we are Accredited Assessors and can do this for you.

Current Issues & Legislation

F-Gas Regulations.
(EN 842/2006)

F-gas Regulations have now come into force. The main objectives of the regulations are to reduce emissions of flourinated greenhouse gases used as refrigerants through better containment and leakage prevention.

What are your Legal Responsibilities?

As an operator of air conditioning, refrigeration or heat pump equipment which contain HFC's you are now legally required to maintain records covering the maintenance of equipment and any refrigerant added to or reclaimed from your systems.

How can TVR Ltd help?

We can help by providing competitively priced maintenance contracts for your equipment, ensuring suitably qualified personnel provide the necessary leak testing and record keeping to meet your F-gas legal responsibilities.

TVR Ltd is a REFCOM registered company which is a legal requirement for all companies dealing with the handling of refrigerants.

Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS).
(EN 2037/2000)

This regulation is in place to reduce the emissions of ODS by legally requiring systems containing more than 3 Kg of refrigerant to have an annual leak check by competent personnel. It will also oversee the phasing out of HCFC refrigerants, namely R22. These refrigerants will no longer be available in virgin form for maintenance or repairs from the end of December 2009.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC).

Air conditioning systems >12Kw capacity (individually or collectively) now require an EPC by law. TVR Ltd are accredited Energy Assessors and can carry out on your behalf energy assessments which lead to certification, lodgement and recommendations for efficiency improvements which will save you money.

Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) Scheme.

The ECA scheme allows businesses to offset the full capital cost of certain energy efficient installations against their tax liabilities in the first financial year. To take advantage of the scheme the equipment used must be on the government ECA equipment list.

Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP).

We can supply and install GSHP and Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) to provide both space heating and hot water for domestic and commercial premises.

TVRL is a CHAS Accredited Contractor.

Health & Safety is paramount and for this reason we sought accreditation to the Contractors Health And Safety assessment scheme to confirm our comitment to this important element of our company philosophy
