We had an interesting meeting with Rendesco who develop heat pump networks. They shared their particular unique selling points with us, including lower install costs than other alternatives. Here’s what the said:
Business Development Manager, Zoe recently joined Rendesco to bring her technical understanding of heat pumps and retrofitting to the forefront of scalable decarbonisation projects—working closely with developers, local councils, and housing associations to shape the future of low-carbon heat.
For those unfamiliar, Rendesco are specialists in ground source heat pump (GSHP) and air source heat pump (ASHP) systems. They design and deliver funded district heat networks for both new build and retrofit developments across the public and private sectors.
Here’s why their approach is catching the attention of forward-thinking housing providers:
- Lower costs to developers than the air source heat pump alternative
- Higher CO₂ savings, translating to improved SAP ratings
- Reduced running costs for residents
- Easier planning approvals
- Low noise
- Reduced electrical demand
Thousands of homes are already benefitting via Rendesco smart heat networks.
One of Rendesco’s standout strengths is their end-to-end service. With in-house teams covering design, drilling, installation, and O&M, they’re able to deliver with speed, precision, and quality control at every stage.
What’s more, Rendesco is committed to long-term partnerships with portfolio owners. They understand that adopting new low carbon heating systems can feel daunting—particularly for existing maintenance teams. That’s why their comprehensive handover process and remote monitoring platform are designed to smooth the transition and significantly reduce call-outs over time.
An overwhelming trend Zoe highlighted was that many developers are being led by councils and housing associations when it comes to embedding low-carbon tech into joint ventures. These organisations understand the long-term cost, comfort, and compliance implications of delaying action—and they’re taking a firm stance now.
If you’re part of a local council or housing association that’s exploring ways to futureproof your housing stock, Rendesco would love to support your journey.
Feel free to connect with Zoe —she’s always up for a conversation about how they can tailor their district heat solutions to your needs.
