Efficient, low-carbon heating solutions for commercial properties
Heat pumps are fast becoming a smart choice for businesses looking to reduce running costs, improve energy efficiency and future-proof their buildings.
At AKA Mechanical, we design and install commercial heat pump systems for businesses across Devon. From offices and workshops to retail spaces, hospitality venues and industrial units, we deliver reliable systems that are tailored to how your building operates.
Why Heat Pumps Make Sense for Businesses
Unlike traditional gas or oil systems, heat pumps don’t generate heat by burning fuel. Instead, they extract natural heat from the air or ground and upgrade it for use inside your building.
For businesses, this offers some clear advantages:
-
Lower long-term running costs compared to fossil fuel heating
-
Consistent, controllable heat throughout the working day
-
Reduced carbon emissions without sacrificing comfort
-
Compatibility with renewable energy systems such as solar PV
-
A future-ready solution as regulations and energy prices change
When designed correctly, heat pumps provide dependable heating for commercial environments with predictable costs.
Types of Heat Pumps for Commercial Properties
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Air source heat pumps are the most commonly used system for businesses. They extract heat from the outside air and distribute it through radiators, underfloor heating or air handling systems.
They are well suited to:
-
Offices and commercial buildings
-
Retail and hospitality spaces
-
Workshops and light industrial units
-
Educational and community buildings
AKA Mechanical installs Grant Aerona³ air source heat pumps, which are MCS and G1 accredited, alongside other trusted and recognised manufacturers depending on project requirements.
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP)
Ground source heat pumps extract heat from the ground via buried pipework. They offer excellent efficiency but require space for ground loops, making them suitable for:
-
Larger commercial sites
-
Rural businesses or campuses
-
New builds with available land
Where conditions allow, ground source systems can deliver very stable performance and long-term efficiency.
Heat Pump Information
Designed Around Your Business
Commercial heating needs are different from domestic ones. That’s why every system we install starts with careful planning.
We consider:
-
Building size, layout and heat loss
-
Hours of operation and occupancy levels
-
Existing heating infrastructure
-
Future expansion plans
-
Integration with other renewable technologies
This ensures the system is correctly sized and designed to perform efficiently without disruption to your business.
Integration With Existing Systems
Heat pumps can be installed as part of a wider energy strategy, including:
-
Solar PV to offset electricity use
-
Battery storage to improve energy management
-
Underfloor heating or upgraded radiators for low-temperature operation
-
Smart controls to manage zones, schedules and demand
We design systems that work together, rather than as isolated upgrades.
Installation & What to Expect
Our commercial heat pump installations typically include:
-
Initial site survey and feasibility assessment
-
Heat loss calculations and system design
-
Equipment selection and layout planning
-
Installation by qualified engineers
-
Testing, commissioning and handover
-
Ongoing support and maintenance options
We work efficiently and safely, minimising disruption to your day-to-day operations.
Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Business?
Heat pumps are particularly effective for businesses that:
-
Operate for long or regular hours
-
Want predictable heating costs
-
Are upgrading from oil, LPG or electric heating
-
Are planning new builds or major refurbishments
-
Want to improve sustainability without compromising comfort
A proper assessment is key — and we’ll always give honest advice if another solution is more suitable.
