Lifecycle Feasibility Study

Client: Industrial production facility with aging heat pump system

Challenge: Should they invest in a repair (£28k) or replace the system (£50k)?

Our Approach:

• Surveyed system condition and reliability history (Gathered from CAFM)
• Calculated efficiency deltas between old vs. modern units
• Collected warranty periods and service intervals for both options
• Calculated energy and running cost forecasts over 5 years

Outcome:

• Replacement would reduce monthly energy usage by 22%
• Manufacturer warranty + maintenance bundle lowered exposure
• Payback < 3 years versus repair

Result: Client opted for a full system replacement, which we helped specify and procure. Delivering savings and long-term resilience.
