Who we work with
The Voluntary Sector

eco-eclipseOur extensive experience in the voluntary sector has proved we can provide much need savings in fuel costs – between 20% and 40% in most cases.

We have worked in hospices and residential homes as well as offices. If a significant part of your running costs are allocated to fuel then this could be a good way of being able to channel much needed funds back into service delivery.

Specifically the eco-eclipse will help you by:

  • Saving money on fuel bills – typically between 20% and 40%
  • Providing readily accessible information about the performance of the heating systems including fault recognition - all of which reduces the number and cost of emergency calls outs and adds to efficiency and reduces your workload. 
  • The efficient retrofit installation of competitively priced systems into existing buildings.
  • Reducing carbon emissions and helping you to meet your increasing obligations to do so
  • Providing thermal disinfection and monitor cold water temperatures to assist in the management of the risk of legionnaire’s disease
  • Extending the life of your boilers by eliminating dry cycling and by providing load dependent sequencing and lead boiler rotation.

Who else has it worked for?

Case study – Leonard Cheshire Disability

Leonard Cheshire is the UK’s largest voluntary sector provider of services to disabled people.  The charity operates nearly 100 residential services in the UK, caring for a wide range of clients.  

We trialled the eco-eclipse boiler energy management system at their Heatherley Service in Sussex, on the oil-fired boiler heating the main house. 

Following a month-long ‘day-on, day-off’ trial, the eco-eclipse system recorded savings of 25.3%.  After the success of this test, and a survey of other potential installation sites across the UK, Leonard Cheshire asked us to install the eco-eclipse in a further 13 services, taking the total number of eco-eclipse systems installed to 17. 

We estimate the installation programme will save an average of 19.6% in fuel costs, with payback achieved over an average 16 months.

“Through the trial at Heatherley, the eco-eclipse has proven its ability to save Leonard Cheshire significant amounts of fuel costs, and also therefore noticeably to reduce our carbon footprint.  We are very pleased to be able to extend the eco-eclipse’s fuel, money and energy saving benefits to a number of other residential services in our portfolio.”
