# Cut commercial heating bills by 15 to 20%, with zero upfront cost.

The Commercial Heating Efficiency Programme installs patented technology into UK commercial heating systems, monitors the savings against a verified baseline, and splits them with you 50/50. You pay nothing if your bills do not fall.

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.

The Programme

## An independent operator. A patented unit. A verified saving.

CHEP deploys VorteXtract, a patented vortex-based heating system optimiser, into the wet heating systems of UK care homes, hotels, farms, and commercial estates. The unit removes dissolved gases continuously, lifts emitter surface temperature by 10 to 12 degrees, and protects the system from the corrosion that produces magnetite sludge.

We are a private commercial operator, not a government scheme. We make money only when our clients do. Every pound of saving is measured against a verified baseline using IPMVP Option C methodology with degree-day adjustment.

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
