Lochinvar collaborated with installer Hawley Building Services to deliver a sustainable and efficient replacement water heating solution for BUPA’s Wykebeck Court Care Home in Leeds. This partnership ensured the care home’s hot water system was upgraded to align with modern sustainability and decarbonisation goals.
Objectives
The primary objective of the project was to support BUPA and Hawley Building Services in replacing the existing water heating system with a sustainable and energy-efficient solution. The new system needed to meet the care home’s domestic hot water demands reliably while contributing to BUPA’s broader decarbonisation strategy.
Lochinvar worked closely with Hawley Building Services to specify a system tailored to the unique requirements of Wykebeck Court Care Home. This included ensuring the new water heating solution was appropriately sized to handle the facility’s high domestic hot water demands without compromising on energy efficiency or reliability. By collaborating throughout the design and implementation phases, Lochinvar ensured the final solution achieved both operational and environmental objectives.
