CHEP funds and installs patented heating efficiency technology, monitors the savings against a verified baseline, and shares them 50/50. We make money only when our clients do. [Book Free Assessment](/contact)[How the programme works ↓](#programme) The Commercial Model ## You take no financial risk. We take all of it. Step 01 ### We fund the installation The unit, the engineer time, the commissioning, the monitoring kit. All paid for by us. There is no invoice from CHEP at install. Step 02 ### We measure the savings Twelve months of pre-install consumption data become your baseline. Post-install consumption is monitored against a degree-day-adjusted forecast. The methodology is auditable. Step 03 ### You share the savings 50% of every verified pound saved goes to you, recurring, for the five-year agreement. If there is no saving, there is no payment. Step 04 ### Renew or we remove it The unit is leased to your building for the five-year term, not sold. At the end of year five you choose: renew the agreement and keep your 50% share, or we remove the unit at no cost to you. [Book Your Free Assessment](/contact) What we install ## VorteXtract: patented, no moving parts, 40+ year working life. The VorteXtract unit installs in line with your existing wet heating system. It uses your circulation pump to spin the heating water into a vortex. The low-pressure zone at the centre draws dissolved nitrogen and oxygen out of solution. The gases are collected and vented continuously, leaving the system inert. There are no moving parts inside the unit, no consumables, and nothing to service. Once commissioned, the unit works automatically through every heating season for the lifetime of the building. The result is a measurably lower fuel bill, a measurably warmer emitter surface, and a heating system protected from the corrosion that produces magnetite sludge. Heating cost reduction 15 to 20% (typical) Carbon emissions reduction ~20% (typical) Radiator surface temperature +10 to 12°C Dissolved oxygen post-treatment ~0.2 ppm (inert) System lifespan extension +6 to 7 years Product lifespan 40+ years Why a programme, not a sale ## We fund the install because we are confident in the saving. Most heating efficiency products are sold as CapEx. A cost is presented, a payback period is forecast, and the building owner takes the financial risk. If the saving fails to materialise, the loss sits with the operator. CHEP runs an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) shared-savings model instead. The programme funds the unit, the engineer time, the commissioning, and the monitoring kit. We invoice only against verified savings, and only for our 50% share. If your bills do not fall, you pay nothing. The financial risk sits with us, where it belongs. The agreement runs for five years. The VorteXtract unit is leased to your building for the duration of the contract, not sold. At the end of year five you have two options: renew the agreement on agreed terms and continue receiving your 50% share of verified savings, or we remove the unit at no cost to you. That alignment is the entire point. It forces us to install only where savings are credible, to commission to a high standard, and to keep monitoring the system over the full five years of the agreement. ![CHEP heating efficiency engineer in a UK commercial plant room beside a Viessmann Vitocrossal 200 boiler.](/assets/about-founder-rC9rQeqG.webp) On site at a commissioned VorteXtract installation. Every install is engineer-led and verified against a degree-day-normalised baseline. Who we work with ## Sectors where heating is a year-round cost line. [ Care Homes 15 to 20% lower gas bill, no CapEx, ESG-ready reporting. See Care Homes programme → ](/care-homes)[ Hotels Energy doubled since 2018. Recover 15 to 20% of heating spend. See Hotels programme → ](/hotels)[ Poultry & Agriculture Up to 20% off heating fuel. Works on biomass, LPG, oil, gas. See Poultry & Agriculture programme → ](/poultry-farms)[ Commercial Offices Up to £30,000 a year, ESOS-aligned, no CapEx. See Commercial Offices programme → ](/commercial-offices) Compliance and independence ## An independent commercial operator. Not a government scheme. CHEP is an independent commercial operator. We are not a government scheme, OFGEM, ESOS administrator, or any statutory authority. The programme is privately funded and recovers its cost solely from the share of savings generated post-install. We hold ICO registration as a data controller \[registration number to be confirmed\], handle all personal data in line with the UK GDPR, and apply ASA-compliant claims standards across all marketing material. Every numeric saving figure on this site is qualified as typical, up to, or verified, in line with CAP Code requirements. Verified savings reporting produced under the programme is suitable for inclusion in ESOS Phase 4 submissions, ISO 50001 documentation, and corporate ESG disclosures. ## See if your buildings qualify.
