Incentive 1: Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme
Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECAs) enable a business to claim 100% first-year capital allowances for energy saving equipment such as heat pump air conditioners.
Businesses can write off the whole of the capital cost of their investment in these technologies against their taxable profits of the period during which they make the investment.
This can deliver a helpful cash flow boost and a shortened payback period
Almost the entire Sanyo range of equipment qualifies under this scheme.

Qualifying products are listed as "Heat Pumps"
Incentive 2: 5% VAT on Heat Pump Air Conditioners for domestic use
As part of the Governments desire to encourage the use of energy efficient equipment, the installation of air source heat pumps in residential accommodation is subject to the reduced VAT rate of just 5%.
This provides a welcome reduction in cost to consumers installing heat pump air conditioning systems to domestic homes in the UK - All Sanyo systems supplied are heat pump which qualify for this reduced rate.
The reduction in capital outlay, together with the saving made in running costs makes home use ever more affordable and justifiable.
