Heat pump solutions for commercial buildings
Commercial heat pump systems designed around your operation
Every commercial building has different heating, cooling and hot water requirements. The right heat pump system depends on how the building is used, when demand is highest, what space is available and how the system needs to integrate with existing infrastructure.
Solaris Energy helps commercial clients move towards efficient, low-carbon heating with practical advice, technical design, professional installation and ongoing maintenance. Whether you are replacing an ageing heating system, planning a new development, reducing reliance on fossil fuels or improving sustainability performance, our team can help you make an informed decision.

Frequently asked questions
-
They can be, but suitability depends on the building’s heating, cooling and hot water demand, operating pattern and site constraints. Solaris assesses these requirements before recommending an air source, ground source or bespoke approach.
-
Often, yes. The assessment should consider the existing distribution system, required water temperatures, electrical supply and available plant space. We can help identify the changes needed and the practical implications for installation.
-
Some heat pump systems can provide both, but the equipment, controls and heat distribution must support the intended operation. Heating and cooling requirements should be established early, including whether different areas need them at the same time.
-
Tell us about occupancy, critical services and any periods when work would be difficult. We can discuss access, sequencing and commissioning requirements. Any temporary heating or phased changeover needs to be assessed and agreed for the specific project.
-
Limited space may call for a different layout or a bespoke solution. Solaris can assess the available options, including mobile energy plant rooms where suitable. Access, connections, servicing and site requirements still need to be considered.
-
Yes, where a suitably designed shared or district heating arrangement is appropriate. The design must consider demand across the site, distribution distances, controls and how the buildings will be used. Solaris can assess the options for your development or estate.
-
A useful assessment considers building demand, operating hours, system temperatures, electricity costs and the performance expected from the proposed design. Savings should be assessed against your existing setup and stated assumptions, rather than treated as a guaranteed percentage.
-
Yes. Solaris can provide maintenance and aftercare support. Discuss the equipment, site access, operating requirements and service scope with us so an appropriate arrangement can be agreed for your building.
Designed for complex commercial requirements
Some commercial projects need more than a standard heat pump installation. Your building may have limited plant space, temporary energy requirements, high hot water demand, multiple buildings or specific operational constraints.
Solaris Energy can design bespoke heat pump solutions around your site, infrastructure and project objectives. This includes custom plant room layouts, mobile energy plant rooms, district heating systems and integrated heating and cooling strategies for more complex commercial environments.
Flexible heating and cooling where you need it
Mobile energy plant rooms provide flexible heating and cooling for projects where a permanent plant room is not practical or required. They are ideal for temporary sites, construction phases, restricted locations or buildings with limited internal plant space.
Solaris Energy designs and delivers mobile plant room solutions around each project’s requirements, helping clients maintain reliable heating and cooling while reducing disruption on site. Our award-winning mobile energy plant room project at Wembley Park demonstrates how this approach can support complex commercial environments.
Efficient heat pump systems for multiple buildings
District heating can be an efficient way to provide heating across commercial sites, estates and multi-building developments from a centralised heat pump system.
Solaris Energy designs and integrates district heating solutions around the needs of each site, helping clients reduce reliance on fossil fuels, improve efficiency and deliver lower-carbon heating across multiple buildings.
Heat pump solutions for different commercial settings
Solaris Energy supports a wide range of commercial clients with heat pump systems designed around each building, site and operational requirement. From offices and education estates to rural businesses, leisure facilities and multi-building developments, our team can help specify, install and maintain efficient heating and cooling solutions that work in the real world.
