October 2009: EHS installs a state of the art heating solution at McKenzie & Cruishank
McKenzie & Cruishank, a leading retailer in Forres, Morayshire selected EHS to modernise their premises and we installed a total capacity
of 85 kW using ceiling mounted inverter air source heatpumps, which are fully eligible for enhanced capital allowance. This is part of a major
programme, where it is forecasted the total energy bill will be reduced by £ 25,000 per year.
January 2009: Air-to-air heatpumps increase 41% in Sweden
The Swedish Energy Agency has released the latest Energy statistics for one- and two-dwelling buildings in 2007. Heat pump
installations continue to grow rapidly, with air to air heat pumps seeing by far the largest growth of 41%. The use of heating
oil for space and water heating in one- and two-dwelling buildings has been reduced by 23% compared
to 2006 and 71% since 2003.

November 2008: EHS installs Energy Savers in the Glastonbury TOR Leisure Centre
EHS was contacted by Rik Cook who manages the TOR Leisure Centre in Glastonbury. Rik's wife is Swedish and they spend considerable
time in Sweden, so they were familiar with the Energy Saver, and wanted to have one in the Leisure Centre, as it had never been
particularly warm in winter time. The Leisure Centre will be restored in 2009, but at present it is poorly insulated (actually it
has no insulation), and the windows are single pane with the familiar gaps we see in some buildings. Further, the centre is
used as a public bar with people coming and going and opening doors all the time. A difficult thing to heat - but they are all
roasting in there now. In fact, EHS now has many more interested customers in the area because they have been to the centre
and have experienced how well the unit works. We have installed Energy Savers in a barn in Warminster...more
October 2008: EHS installs Energy Savers in the Old Amersham Market Hall
The Old Amersham Market Hall was built in the 17th Century and is Grade II listed. Owned by the Town Council, it is let
out for meetings and functions. EHS installed Energy Savers in this building in August 2008. We had to take great care of
the fabric of an important and listed building, which is poorly insulated by today's standards. Further, it has many historic
single pane casement windows that now fit poorly, but cannot be repaired. The Hall had not been warm since built several hundred
years ago, but it is now comfortably warm...more

June 2007: EHS installs Energy Savers in showcase environmental youth centre.
The Phoenix Centre in Sandwich, Kent is used mainly for and by young people "to keep them off the streets". A major
renovation project was started in 2006, and the Chair Phil Scott was particularly keen that the building had a minimum
carbon footprint. Sustainable solutions have been selected where ever practicable such as rubber floors and floors
made from recycled wood. Of particular concern was the heating solution - biomass and ground source heatpumps were
investigated but rejected as the cost could not be justified. EHS was instead awarded the contract to fit Energy Savers,
and The Phoenix Centre has now seen its energy costs halved after a full winter season. ...more
