Customer Brief:

In September 2024, Warmco installed an energy efficient air source heat pump HVAC system for Legrand in Cramlington. For this factory heating project, Warmco were asked to supply and install four 28kw Powrmatic (Innova- Panasonic Jet air stream) Eeco-X high efficiency, suspended, commercial unit heat pumps, into this brand-new, portal framed building.

Features of the Heating System:

Legrand asked Warmco to offer energy efficient factory heating for these brand-new premises. They wanted to invest in a modern energy-efficient system which could provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional fossil fuel heating. Specifically, they asked us to keep a section of this manufacturing space up to 20c when it was minus 1C outside. We were asked to add ductwork to the Eeco-X units to guarantee the distribution of heat around the building. However, alternatively these units can be supplied with self directing air nozzles to emit the warm air. These would have an air throw of up to 30m and can swivel, to direct the heat emitted into different the areas and levels of the space. Another huge advantage of these Eeco units is that they can also be set up to work in reverse in summer, to cool the space, where this facility is required.

We also installed ten Winterwarm WCU40EC destratification (heat recovery) fans on thermostatic controls. Each fan was suspended 1m from the roof purlins, to provide two full air changes per hour. These are high efficiency axial fans which push large volumes of heated air back to the working zone. The fan operates when the roof space temperature rises. They could also potentially provide ‘free heat’ if positioned over lights or machines that generate their own heat. Adding these fans adds to the energy efficiency of the system by further reducing the heating output required. This installation took four weeks for our engineers to complete.

Testimonials

The heater installed by Warmco is absolutely brilliant! It has surpassed our expectations… it is very efficient on gas consumption and overall working with Warmco will save us a lot of money in future. All in all we are over the moon with our heating system and would be very happy to recommend Warmco’s services to anyone.

Russ Moore – A S Plant, Mansfield October 2020

Warmco were very quick to respond to our request for a survey and to quote for our heating; much faster than the response time that I have generally come to expect form other companies. The engineers communicated well and worked round our site requirements, to create minimal disruption to ourselves and our customers. We are pleased with our heating, it is working well. Warmco have been available to assist with giving advice on our system. Overall, we were very impressed from the start to finish of our dealings with Warmco.

Mark Donoghue – Brownhills Leisure World – November 2020

Overall I'm happy with the service provided by Warmco. The site visit and quoting process was good. The install guys were good, on time, seemed to get on with the job and completed it on time with good communications. As for the heaters, as it hasn’t been too cold as yet, I can't comment fully on how effective they are.”

Darrell Freeman – Big Dude Clothing, Ellesmere Port October 2020

Warmco were knowledgeable when it came to recommending a heating system to us. They explained the system in a way that gave us confidence in the products and services they were offering. Most importantly, the price was right. The installation was great, the engineers came when we were told they would, worked round our warehouse operations, did a neat job of the installation and were clean and tidy. We are pleased to say that the heating does exactly what we need it to do.
