Attleborough-based renewable heating expert Finn Geotherm, has won two prestigious awards in the Energy Efficiency Awards 2023 for the East of England. The awards recognise businesses and organisations who are making strides in cutting carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency. Finn Geotherm was awarded Large Scale Project of the Year for its air source heat pump installation at Alive Lynnsport – the largest dry leisure centre in East Anglia. The company specified and installed three colossal 210kW Panasonic air source heat pumps – some of the first to be installed anywhere in Europe – to provide all the heating and hot water. The system is expected to deliver savings of more than 500 tonnes of CO2 annually. Finn Geotherm was also awarded Renewable Heating Installer & Contractor for its expertise in heat pump system design, specification and installation, which has seen the company completing some of Panasonic’s largest air source heat pumps installations in Europe over the past 18 months. In addition, Finn Geotherm was highly commended in the Small Scale Project of the Year for its ground source heat pump installation at West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village in Suffolk. Guy Ransom, commercial director at Finn Geotherm, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won these two Energy Efficiency Awards for the East of England. The installation at Alive Lynnsport was a highly significant project, which saw us installing some of the first 210kW Panasonic air source units anywhere in Europe. The project demonstrates the vast opportunity for air source in commercial applications, particularly in areas where ground source heat pumps aren’t an option due to space limitations. To also win the award for Renewable Heating Installer & Contractor is testament to the immense hard work of the entire team at Finn Geotherm who work so hard to deliver outstanding installations such as Alive Lynnsport and West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village among many others.” The awards were also a great success for housing association Flagship Group who were nominated by Finn Geotherm and won Housing Association/Landlord of the Year. The award recognised Flagship’s commitment to decarbonisation, including three district heating systems installed by Finn Geotherm to replace electric storage heaters and gas boilers in some of its housing stock.
