Mitsubishi Electric has hailed the success of Manchester's Greenbuild Expo (May 8–9) as proof that interest in low carbon heating is just as strong in the north as it is in the south of the UK, it says.<br> <br> The heat pump manufacturer had already reported increased interest from both commercial and residential sectors at London's Ecobuild in March and said that it was pleased to see a similar level at Greenbuild.<br> <br> "We were particularly impressed by the quality of the enquiries at our stand over the two days of Greenbuild which disproves any notion that the sluggish economy is dampening down interest in renewable heating," says John Kellett, general manager of the company's heating division.<br> <br> Thousands of Ecodan units have now been installed across the UK from the Isle of Skye to the Isle of Wight, Mitsubishi says. It adds that Kellett believes the number and quality of enquiries at shows like Greenbuild demonstrates the appetite for heating systems that can reduce both running costs and carbon emissions.<br> <br> <a href="http://www.heating.mitsubishielectric.co.uk">www.heating.mitsubishielectric.co.uk</a>
