Problem
The UK’s residential and hospitality heating stock relies heavily on gas‑fired boilers, resulting in roughly 65 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually and making net‑zero targets difficult to achieve. Existing heat‑pump technologies often cannot replace boilers outright, leaving many properties without a viable low‑carbon retrofit path.
Solution
OYA Energy UK delivers a hybrid heating platform that pairs an air‑source heat pump with the existing gas boiler, creating a dual‑source system that can meet the majority of heating demand while preserving backup capacity. The integrated smart controller optimizes the heat‑pump’s operation, automatically switching to the boiler when needed, which cuts carbon output by up to 75 % without sacrificing comfort. Remote monitoring of more than 100 sensors provides real‑time performance analytics, ensuring peak efficiency and early fault detection. A single‑point‑of‑contact project model handles design, financing assistance, installation, and lifetime service, simplifying the retrofit process for housing associations, homeowners, and hotel operators. The solution is built on UK‑manufactured, best‑in‑class smart components and includes a structured end‑of‑life recycling program to minimize waste.
Target Audience
Primary customers are housing association asset managers, individual homeowners seeking low‑carbon retrofits, and hotel operators aiming to meet CSR and net‑zero commitments. The offering is also suitable for property developers and facilities managers overseeing mixed‑use portfolios.
