TV presenter and writer George Clarke has linked up with Mitsubishi Electric to help promote the company’s Ecodan air source heat pumps. Best known for the Channel 4 programmes ‘George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces’ and ‘Restoration Man’, George Clarke is a passionate advocate of design excellence and high levels of quality in the construction industry.

“For us, George is a perfect fit with Ecodan because he is such an inspiring pioneer and a real advocate of the need to build quality into the homes that the nation desperately needs,” explains Donald Daw, Commercial Director for Mitsubishi Electric Living Environment Systems.

The new partnership will see the presenter help promote renewable heating and write a monthly column on Mitsubishi’s blogsite, theHub.mitsubishielectric.co.uk, which covers a diverse range of informative and useful topics around energy use in buildings.

“We know we need to build a lot of homes each year to address the serious housing shortage but we also need to make sure that we build quality homes and they need to be built right across the country,” comments George Clarke.

“The way we design, build, heat, power and recycle our homes needs to change and change quickly and renewable heating is an important part of our future,” says George Clarke. “I’m therefore delighted to associate myself with the market-leading brand of heat pumps which are built here in the UK and which can help reduce energy bills and lower emissions for almost any home.”

Further information on the Ecodan range of air source heat pumps can be found on the company’s website www.ecodan.co.uk.
