COP Angel: Transforming Heat Pump Efficiency

Both ground source and air source heat pumps have become a key solution for low-carbon heating as the UK moves towards net-zero carbon emissions. However, inefficient control systems often limit their potential, leading to higher energy use and costs.

COP Angel is a patented, smart control system designed to optimise heat pump performance. It streamlines installation through automatic heat loss calculations and commissioning while improving efficiency by up to 40%, reducing energy bills and easing pressure on the electricity grid.

The Importance of Heat Pump Efficiency

Heating accounts for 37% of the UK’s carbon emissions, so the government is prioritising the shift to low-carbon alternatives. The government has set ambitious targets of installing 600,000 heat pumps annually by 2028 and having 12 million homes using heat pumps by 2040.

“The heating industry is on the verge of a massive transformation as the world shifts toward more sustainable energy solutions. Heat pumps are key to that future, but we need smarter ways to operate them. COP Angel is the breakthrough.”

COP Angel Benefits

Unlike conventional thermostats, COP Angel actively optimises ground and air source heat pump operation. It self-commissions, self-balances, and dynamically adjusts heating to improve efficiency without compromising comfort. It significantly reduces the training burden on installers and lowers the complexity of the installation process. It is designed for global compatibility, making it suitable for various markets and climates.

Key features and benefits:

• Up to 40% efficiency improvement, reducing energy use and lowering carbon emissions.
• Cuts energy bills by up to 40%, making heat pumps a more cost-effective solution.
• Simplifies installation. Self-commissioning reduces the need for engineer call-backs.
• Room-by-room temperature control, with more precise and comfortable heating.
• Reduces grid strain by helping balance demand and improve energy stability.
• Potential to reduce heat pump size by one-third, reducing upfront costs.
• Suitable for a wide range of properties, working for both new builds and retrofits.

A Growing Market Opportunity

The global demand for ground source and air source heat pumps is rising as countries strive to meet climate commitments. With strong growth in Europe, North America, and Asia, COP Angel’s smart, app-based control system is well-positioned to support widespread adoption.

In addition to targeting residential markets, COP Angel is poised to form strategic partnerships with major energy providers and control systems companies which are seeking more efficient ways to manage home heating.

The competitive landscape involves some household names however, none offer the same efficiency or innovative control methods as COP Angel.
