		<description><![CDATA[If you're unsure exactly just how effective a heat pump is in the winter, read this new post from Oakland Air Conditioning to find out some useful information.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at Oakland Group, we only supply and install the best and most efficient <a title="heat pumps" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/">heat pumps</a> that are not only highly effective in the winter, but are perfectly suited to the UK’s ambient temperatures that run throughout the year.</p>
<h2>Efficiency</h2>
<p>As we are suppliers of the highly advanced Mitsubishi Ecodan, your heat pump will not only be effective in terms of its heating output, but also in its energy efficiency – keeping you warm throughout these cold months whilst saving you a substantial amount of money on bills that can put a real strain on our wallets when the cold comes.</p>
<p>This high level of efficiency is achieved by a number of different factors, starting with the input/output energy: With conventional heat pumps, 1kW of input energy will provide less than 1kW of output energy, however with the Mitsubishi Ecodan, 1kW of input energy is converted into an average of 3.6kW of output energy/heat – an obvious choice when looking for an effective heating system that costs less.</p>
<p>Combine this heat pump with other green technology such as <a title="solar panels Hereford" href="http://www.aessolarsystems.co.uk/" target="_blank">solar panels Hereford</a>, and your property will have a heating system that is zero carbon rated and costing you very little to run.</p>
<h2>Further Effective Benefits</h2>
<p>Aside from this unrivalled amount of energy efficiency, the Mitsubishi Ecodan provides a wealth of other advantages that make it the heating solution for any property. The ease of installation and flexibility that is enhanced when using the skilled team at Oakland Group make it the heating answer to more secluded areas of the UK that may not be on the National Gas Grid.</p>
<p>If you’re searching for effective and energy efficient <strong>heat pumps</strong> to ensure the warmth of your property throughout the frost, British winter and any cold snaps thereafter, you will not find any better suited than what we can supply, install and maintain, so get in touch today to find out more.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're concerned about the possible structural impact of having an air conditioning unit installed in your property, read this new post from Oakland.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The impact that the installation of <a title="air conditioning" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/">air conditioning</a> may have on your property can sometimes put owners off having it installed, as they might be under the untrue belief that it can harm or significantly change a building&#8217;s structure. While this may in fact be true when employing the services of an installation company that doesn’t care or focus on quality, if you decide to use our services here at Oakland Group, you will instead be employing the knowledge and skills of a company that are able to install the best air conditioning unit for your specific needs, with little to no impact on your property’s structure.</p>
<p>Of course, the impact any air conditioning unit will have on the structure of a property will depend on the type and size of the unit itself, so it is best to have a wide-range of choice to choose from to suit the needs and particular size of your environment, and this is exactly what we have here at Oakland Group.</p>
<p>This extensive range of choice that provides everything from the smallest unit to large central station chillers, is combined with our in-depth experience of all things A/C, so we&#8217;ll help you to make a  decision on which unit would be best for your requirements. The team here can take care of everything from the early design stages to the final installation and ongoing maintenance thereafter – providing a unique experience for each customer and their structure.</p>
<p>To further ensure the least amount of structural impact on your property, we follow an intricate procedure each time we take up a new project and will thoroughly risk assess every building and area the A/C unit is due to be installed in, prior to the commencement of any work. This will help to ensure that you won&#8217;t have to look for any <a title="property maintenance Swansea" href="http://www.rjes.co.uk/building-refurbishment-property-maintenance.php" target="_blank">property maintenance Swansea </a>companies and we can continue to demonstrate our exemplary record of customer satisfaction and health and safety. The only impact Oakland Group <strong>air conditioning</strong> will have is on the well-being of your employees.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="air conditioning" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/">Air conditioning</a> has become a vital necessity for businesses, offices, and factories alike; creating an environment that is comfortable 24 hours a day. Yet, whilst many commercial premises will already have air conditioning installed, many neglect to contract a professional to maintain their air conditioning unit, which can prove to be a costly and highly inconvenient mistake.</p>
<p>Specialising in the supply, installation, maintenance and repair of air conditioning units, we at Oakland believe that we know the benefits associated with a maintenance service better than anyone. To ensure that you know what these benefits are, we have devised the following guide which outlines the potential pitfalls that you could avoid with this simple yet effective service.</p>
<h2>A Preventative Measure</h2>

All of our engineers are fully qualified with years of industry experience which enables them to spot a fault before it causes any disturbance.</p>
<h2>Quick Response Time</h2>
<p>In the event that your air conditioning unit suddenly decides to stop working without warning, we at Oakland will respond within 4 hours of receiving your call. We will come out to your <a title="commercial property Leicester" href="http://www.wellsmcfarlane.co.uk/" target="_blank">commercial property Leicester</a>, Derby, and Birmingham as we operate nationwide.  Our service has been highly praised by many of our existing customers, which goes some way to showcasing our high quality service and commitment to our customers.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Our expert Oakland Group air conditioning systems are great for your office all year round, dealing with irregular weather patterns and heat caused by crowding.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may not think that winter is the time to be considering an <a title="air conditioning" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/">air conditioning</a> installation, but during the colder months a busy office can still become airless. However low the temperature falls outside, inside your commercial property a crowded workspace and constant computer activity can still cause things to heat up uncomfortably. The Oakland Group are experts in the design, installation and maintenance of a range of air conditioning systems, including VRV and VRF systems, which are ideal for office environments.</p>
<p>Whether you require a small, single unit or a large-scale installation with a series of ventilation outlets, we can provide the cooling solutions you need. VRV (variable refrigerant volume) or VRF (variable refrigerant flow) air conditioning is an efficient and reliable way to keep your office cool and comfortable. These systems are also quick and easy to install, which means a new ventilation installation will never disrupt your workplace for too long.</p>
<p>We recommend that customers with small or medium sized offices invest in these forms of air conditioning, as they are the most appropriate design for light commercial use. The air flow is matched accurately to the amount of ventilation required, which can help you to save energy and potentially enjoy a reduction in your bills too.</p>
<p>Another advantage of a VRV or VRF air conditioning system, is that it can provide both cooling and heating. This can reduce your reliance on a conventional central heating system, whilst allowing you to control the temperature of your office simply and effectively as the weather or your requirements change.  These systems are also perfect for use in a number of different rooms: ideal if you want your boardroom or reception area to be as cool and inviting as your main office space.</p>
<p>Over twenty years of experience has allowed us to develop a comprehensive service which includes the design and installation of a range of <strong>air conditioning</strong> systems which are ideal for a variety of environments. By investing in VRV or VRF systems you can enjoy a cool and comfortable <a title="commercial property Leicester" href="http://www.wellsmcfarlane.co.uk/" target="_blank">commercial property Leicester</a>, so why not get in touch with the Oakland Group today?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perhaps your heating system is old and unreliable, or perhaps you have recently moved into a property which requires a lot of renovation work. Either way, you may be looking for a modern and efficient alternative to a conventional boiler. If this is the case, look no further than the innovative Mitsubishi <a title="Ecodan" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/heat-pumps/">Ecodan </a>system from the Oakland Group. Offering unrivalled efficiency and the potential to lower your energy bills, this unique technology can transform your heating system simply and effectively.</p>
<p>Whilst most conventional boilers require 1kw of energy to produce less than 1kw, the Ecodan heating system can take this 1kw and transform it into 3.6kw of useable energy; making it an impressive three times more efficient. To demonstrate this efficiency further, if the 200,000 new properties built between now and 2016 were fitted with Ecodan technology, then 720,000 tonnes C02 emissions could be saved each year.</p>
<p>Using the outdoor air and transforming this into an effective heating solution for your water and radiators, Ecodan is a cost-effective way to heat your home. Featuring an inter-driven heat pump compressor which converts free energy from the air into useful energy for your property, the Ecodan system will match the capacity of energy required and only provide the exact amount you need. This cuts down on wastage, and can also help you to enjoy reduced energy costs during a time when heating bills are steadily rising.</p>
<p>Ecodan can be fitted by plumbers, heating engineers and air conditioning engineers alike, so you will never have to worry about installing your new heating system. Fitted outside of your property, it is a self-contained unit which won’t take up too much space or detract from the appearance of your home.</p>
<p>If you are tired of constant boiler breakdowns, overwhelming energy prices and an inefficient supply of heating, make sure you invest in a new <strong>Ecodan </strong>heating system. With help from the Oakland Group, this winter can be a warm and cosy one, and your property an efficient, affordable place to live.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Concerned about the ecological effects of heat pumps on the environment? Here the team at the Oakland Group explores how their Ecodan pumps are ecologically friendly.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To protect the environment for future generations to come, today&#8217;s businesses are striving to reduce their impact on the ecosystem and help lower carbon emissions. There are numerous ways that your business can go about this, however, one measure that requires little change in your day to day running is swapping your heating system for an environmentally friendly one. Here at Oakland Group we supply and install <a title="heat pumps" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/">heat pumps</a> which are proven to be ecologically beneficial.</p>
<p>One system that has become recognised in its efforts to actively reduce carbon emissions is the Ecodan. This unique system works like no other, rather than drawing in stale air from an office, heating it up and circulating it around a building, the Ecodan uses energy already in existence in outdoor air to raise the temperature of it. This method of upgrading the energy uses considerably less power, which therefore lowers the ecological effects.</p>
<p>Instead of producing less than 1kw of energy from 1kw of input energy, the Ecodan can produce 3kw of energy from 1wk of input energy. This has the effect of lowering energy consumption by 30% and subsequently the amount of CO₂ which is produced.</p>
<p>This is a considerable change in energy usage, especially when you consider that all it takes is a replacement of your current heating system. This may sound like a lengthy and expensive process for your business to undertake, however upon contact our professionals here at Oakland Group you can have the unit fitted, confident that it is undertaken with the upmost professionalism and expertise to avoid any damage occurring to your <a title="office fit out London" href="http://www.aragorn.co.uk/">office fit out London</a>.</p>
<p>If you, as an innovative and proactive business want to take the lead in reducing the amount of CO₂ produced, then make sure you get in touch with Oakland Group today. We have the experience, the expertise and the core skills to be able to fit these specific <strong>heat pumps</strong> with ease. Call us today on 0800 542 2580.</p>

<h2>How Does It Work?</h2>
<p>An Ecodan boiler features an inverter-driven heat pump compressor. In simple terms, this means that it converts free energy from the air into heating by raising the air temperature.  The inverter control is used to limit the output of the system, meaning that the amount of energy which is produced is the amount you need. This precision makes the Ecodan system ideal for the varying temperatures of the UK.</p>
<h2>3 Times as Efficient</h2>
<p>Whilst conventional boilers use 1 kw of energy to create less than 1 kw of heat, the Ecodan system transforms that 1 kw into 3.6 kw of heat energy. This is by far the most efficient way to heat your home, and by powering your boiler using renewable energy sources like <a title="solar panels Worcester" href="http://www.aessolarsystems.co.uk/">solar panels Worcester</a>, then your central heating can have a zero carbon rating, making it even better for the environment.</p>
<h2>Perfect For Everyone</h2>
<p>The Ecodan boiler system is a great energy solution for every family.  It is easy to install and can be fitted by electricians, plumbers or heating engineers, which means that reducing your energy consumption can be straightforward and hassle free. A self-contained unit which is installed on the outside of your property, it allows you to enjoy all of the benefits of a new heating system with minimal disruption to your home.</p>
<p>When you want to become more energy efficient whilst also enjoying heating which is reliable, effective and affordable, then the Mitsubishi <strong>Ecodan </strong>boiler system could be the solution you have been looking for. Contact the experts here at Oakland Group today for more advice and you can begin to look forward to a more sustainable future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With nearly all electricity and heating companies announcing that their rates are going up, more and more homeowners are looking at ways to reduce their utility bills without missing out on the amount of heat, gas and electricity they receive. Whilst switching energy providers is one way to help minimise your outgoings, for more significant results, you may want to consider installing <a title="heat pumps" href="http://www.oaklandgroup.com/">heat pumps</a> available through us here at Oakland.</p>
