Schaffer House

A local council owned sheltered housing property in Maidenbower, West Sussex.

The requirement was to work in partnership with Crawley Borough Council and their housing repairs contractor, Mitie, to install a sustainable energy solution to provide space heating and hot water to the tenants of Schaffer House.

Baystar installed a 70kW water source heat pump to replace the two existing boilers, alongside a brand new backup boiler, a new radiator programme and a complete plant room upgrade.

The council will see a combined annual income and savings of up to £12,700 and a carbon reduction of c50%.

A project of this size will earn c£8,000 per annum in Renewable Heat Incentive payments for 20 years, and the fuel cost saving will be approximately 10%.
