Heat Pump Hire Allows Construction Company To Finish Their Work Quicker And More Efficiently
The Challenge
A construction company building an 11-storey building was looking for a heating solution to temper the inside and keep the works going during winter. Maintaining the temperature inside the building around 10°C without the wait for a better, warmer weather was needed to allow the indoor wet works to dry faster, speed up the works and eventually hand over the building faster.
The key challenge – do it without using gas boilers.
The Solution
To find the right technology to keep the building warm and the construction going, the customer reached out to the ICS Cool Energy hire team.
The building in question was already closed with doors and windows installed as well as a central heating system installation in place. Following a site inspection, the ICS team designed a circuit system combining a 200kW air-cooled reversible heat pump and a buffer tank connected directly to the building’s heating system divider.
The Result
The plug-and-play heat pump solution from ICS Cool Energy hire fleet delivered 35°C hot water even at outside temperatures reaching -10°C, convincing the customer to apply this technology to their other constructions in the future.
The customer chose the heat pump solution, despite initially also contemplating the use of mobile diesel boilers. The heat pumps proved to be maintenance-free and much more energy- and cost efficient when compared to the diesel boilers and taking the fuel prices into consideration.

Heat pump chiller hire
We are specialists in heat pump chiller hire and reverse cycle chillers for both heating and cooling applications. We stock more than 500MW of chillers ready for next day delivery with heat pump chillers ranging from 85kW to 550kW, heating from +10°C to +80°C and cooling from +15°C to -10°C. Our heat pumps are built to a robust critical process specification with integrated pumps, buffer tanks and multiple circuits and compressors preventing the risk of single point failure. Heat pump chillers are protected in purpose built transport frames and skids and can be installed with flanged, camlock or Bauer hoses for rapid onsite installation in all situations. Since 1989 we have been providing heat pump chiller hire services for industrial manufacturing and HVAC applications. Our technical specialists are able to support any job, no matter the size from short term up to nine years. Working with you, our team will provide the best solution for your business. <strong>Why use us as your heat pump chiller hire partner?</strong> Our technically trained engineers are heat pump chiller specialists, so you can rely on them to get your pumps installed right, first time. We provide a detailed site survey, system design, equipment specification, delivery, installation and commissioning. Our chiller hire fleet is on average, less than 1.5 years old, ensuring reliability and modern equipment for your business. The age of the equipment and our engineer’s approach will ensure that it is energy efficient – reducing your energy costs. You could also make further savings by considering a free cooling solution.
Water source heat pump chiller
Chillers and cooling plants are used to cool manufacturing processes and facilities, and just by doing so generate waste heat that typically gets lost to the atmosphere, this heat does not just have to be wasted and can be harnessed effectively by one of our i-FH (Industrial Free Heating) units. If you have a process that needs heating, this heat can be recovered from your process via our i-FH unit and then supplied directly to your heating circuit, reducing the energy costs as a result. Our i-FH models range from 182kW through to 420kW. These units offer operational effectiveness, and a compact design - which is optimised for restricted spaces; they are modular & scalable for evolving needs, easily manoeuvrable with a standard pallet truck as well as intuitive & user friendly, extensively tested and CE compliant.
