Mixergy and Daikin have announced a new joint offering to social housing providers and new build developers. By combining a Daikin Altherma heat pump with a Mixergy smart hot-water cylinder, social housing providers and new build developers can boost EPC scores while enhancing living standards for their tenants, the companies say.
Mixergy’s smart hot water cylinder range can reduce hot water energy consumption significantly and Daikin has enabled Mixergy to optimise the heat pump settings, resulting in even better system efficiency and reduction in primary energy, as recognised in the building regulations.
The companies say that combining Mixergy’s patented technologies with Daikin’s Altherma heat pump range delivers a RdSAP and SAP uplift from Mixergy’s Appendix Q solar diverter addition.
In addition, they say, tenants and homeowners benefit from lower running costs combined with shorter water heating times.
Pete Armstrong, CEO and Co-founder of Mixergy says, “We’re thrilled to announce our new sales and technology partnership with Daikin. They are the first heat-pump manufacturer in the UK to fully understand the potential of our technology and we are very happy to be working together. Our grid connectivity and smart controls working in tandem with Daikin heat-pumps translate directly into higher EPC scores for the social housing provider, reducing costs for the housing developer, with lower running costs and more comfort for tenants and homeowners.”
Iain Bevan, New Business Director of Daikin UK says “As the leading heat-pump manufacturer in the UK we really understand how important it is to have an optimum solution for hot-water. Joining forces with Mixergy will help drive heat-pump specification sales and grow our social housing retrofit and new build business. Mixergy has a future proof solution that enables housing providers to provide better homes to homeowners and tenants with lower costs by unlocking value from DSR and dynamic tariffs.”
