Combined heat and power
Sustain has expertise in designing, install and commission distributed generation systems built around 13 KWe gas and 17KWe diesel CHP powered units. Ideal for sheltered housing when an old system is being replaced, or in a new build, mini-CHP brings multiple benefits through reducing fuel bills and carbon emissions.

The units provide a measure of future proofing by allowing a switch to cleaner sources of fuel, such as biomass and fuel cell technologies as they become available.

Sustain provide the following services:

  • Energy & fuel bill calculations
  • Plant room assessments
  • CHP whole life cost analysis
  • Detailed design
  • Installation & commissioning
  • Technical support & maintenance
