Mixergy and Daikin are excited to announce their 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.
This new partnership is a testament to Mixergy’s unique ability to save on hot water energy consumption for the home with any heating solution and Daikin’s drive to be part of grid connected solutions that reap the benefits of dynamic tariffs.
smart hot water cylinder range
Mixergy’s innovative smart hot water cylinder range has been proven to reduce hot water energy consumption significantly.
Daikin has enabled Mixergy to optimize the heat pump settings, resulting in even better system efficiency and reduction in primary energy, as recognized in the building regulations.
Altherma heat pump range
Mixergy is the only manufacturer to have extra energy savings recognized through Appendix Q
This is a first for the industry. Combining these patented technologies with Daikin’s Altherma heat pump range delivers a RdSAP and SAP uplift from Mixergy’s Appendix Q solar diverter addition.
Currently, Mixergy is the only manufacturer to have extra energy savings recognized through Appendix Q compared to a standard PV diverter. In addition, tenants and homeowners benefit from lower running costs combined with shorter water heating times.
grid connectivity and smart controls
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.”
reducing carbon emissions
By implementing our combined offering, housing providers can deliver on their promise to provide better homes for homeowners and tenants while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Mixergy’s connectivity gives social housing providers access to a unique welfare dashboard that checks hot water temperatures and monitors tenant activity usage of the domestic hot water. This enhanced monitoring allows for health and checks of the tenants and ensures compliance with Legionella requirements.
EXtra bolt-on tariff
Tenants can also make use of dynamic tariffs from suppliers to heat their hot water
At the same time, Mixergy is helping to solve massive grid congestion problems, which will enable more renewable energy to be deployed across the country.
Mixergy recently announced their first Mixergy eXtra bolt-on tariff from British Gas that pays customers. Tenants can also make use of dynamic tariffs from suppliers to heat their hot water when the energy is cheapest, which is typically when the carbon emission levels are the lowest.
heat-pump specification
Iain Bevan, New Business Director of Daikin UK says “As the 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.”
