Ecodan app now on Android and iPhone

Mitsi Ecodan appUK: Mitsubishi Electric has launched an enhanced version of its heat pump selection tool to include ground or water source applications over 30kW.

The simple to use app offers an easy way for individuals or businesses to see what a heat pump can offer in terms of reductions in running costs and emissions over gas, oil, LPG and direct electric heating.

The selection tool clearly illustrates how much money can be saved on energy bills, what the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) will mean for the homeowner and how quickly the renewable system will pay for itself.

For businesses, the extension also calculates the relevant two tier RHI figure payable for ground or water source on non-domestic properties, whether that is in a school, an office, a farm, an industrial building, a high-rise, or across an entire estate.

The app is now available for both Android phones and tablets via Google Play, in addition to iPhones via the App Store, as well as continuing on the iPad and the web.
