Renewable heating expert shortlisted for four awards in heat pump industry ‘Oscars’

Renewable heating expert Finn Geotherm, has been shortlisted in four categories in the prestigious National ACR & Heat Pump Awards.

The sought-after National ACR & Heat Pump Awards celebrate excellence in innovation, projects, installations and environmental successes in the air conditioning and refrigeration and heat pump industries. They bring together manufacturers, end users, distributors, heating engineers, ACR contractors and consultants from across the country.

Finn Geotherm has been shortlisted in four categories:

• Heat Pump Installer of the Year
• Domestic Ground Source Project – for the first installation of a communal ground source heat pump for domestic use in the East of England by housing association Flagship Group. The system installed at Orchard Close in Watton, is delivering domestic heating and hot water for 30 flats. It has cut Flagship customers’ heating bills by two thirds, creating annual savings of hundreds of pounds.
• Non-domestic Ground Source Project – also for the Flagship Group district heating scheme at Orchard Close, Watton.
• Domestic Air Source Project – for a heat pump system installed at a South Norfolk home. The installation was the second air source project completed by Finn Geotherm for this customer when they moved into a new house.

Guy Ransom, commercial director at Finn Geotherm, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for four awards in the National ACR & Heat Pump Awards, which recognise the country’s most significant heating companies and projects. We are particularly over the moon to have been shortlisted twice for the district heating project at Flagship, which is both a testament to the forward-thinking strategic approach of Flagship and the hard work and skill of the team at Finn Geotherm in delivering the best possible solution for the organisation and its tenants. We thoroughly enjoyed working together on this project and hope we can soon be celebrating its success together too!”

Winners of the National ACR & Heat Pump Awards will be announced on 18^th January 2018 at a black tie event in Liverpool.
