Procast completes £100,000 Argyll heat pump project
Procast Group has handed properties back to tenants following an innovative £100,000 indoor air-source heat pump project.
The contractor completed an indoor air source heat pump trial on six flats in Argyll, in conjunction with Trianco, showcasing some of the newest technology of its kind to be introduced into the UK as they seek an alternative to communal heating and district heat networks.
Working with Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA), Procast have fitted Trianco’s innovative technology to houses on Glebe Street, Rothesay, and will monitor the effectiveness of the new installations.
The trial project is a first for Scotland as Procast look to develop a highly efficient air source heat pump unit that would be suitable for installing in the most difficult to treat flats and tenements throughout the UK.
The new installations are hoped to improve energy efficiency, provide tenants with savings and lead to better insulated homes, as well as being better for the planet. Now completed, Procast said that the project will have a hugely positive impact on living conditions for tenants as well as help to reduce their energy bills.
