In this issue of Industrial Solutions, we are pleased to feature ESS Air Con as our Heating & Cooling Systems Company of Choice.
Established in 2000, ESS has evolved from a specialist HVAC distributor into the UK’s leading supplier of commercial heat pump systems. Partnering with global brands such as Samsung and Panasonic, alongside innovative manufacturers including Maxa and Volta, ESS delivers tailored, high-performance solutions to meet the complex needs of modern commercial environments.
The demand for heat pumps across commercial and industrial sectors continues to accelerate, driven by the global push toward decarbonisation and net zero targets. In both the UK and Europe, government policy and corporate sustainability commitments are reshaping the heating landscape. As organisations transition away from gas and other fossil-fuel systems, ESS stands at the forefront – providing efficient, low-carbon alternatives that enable businesses to reduce emissions, cut operating costs, and future-proof their operations.
Over recent months, ESS has intensified its focus on deploying large-scale heat pump systems for commercial and industrial properties – including offices, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
With a deep understanding of the operational demands and environmental challenges unique to these sectors, ESS helps organisations enhance building energy performance and transition seamlessly to low-carbon heat pump technology. In doing so, the company enables clients to cut energy costs, improve efficiency, and meet their ESG and sustainability commitments.
In the industrial and logistics sectors, the shift is already underway. Businesses operating low-temperature industrial processes, distribution centres, and temperature-controlled warehouses are increasingly investing in large heat pump systems – achieving measurable gains in energy efficiency, long-term cost reduction, and carbon footprint reduction.
Maxa Heat Pumps represent one of ESS’s most recent strategic partnerships, bringing cutting-edge heating and cooling technology from Italy to the UK. Manufactured by the Ferroli Group, Maxa products are imported and distributed across the UK, offering industrial, commercial, and residential clients high-performance climate control solutions.
Founded in 1992 by Luciano Tredicesimo Ferroli, the company has grown into one of Italy’s top five heat pump manufacturers and a leading player in the domestic air conditioning sector. Today, Maxa is recognised globally for its expertise in residential, commercial, and industrial air conditioning solutions.
At the core of Maxa’s mission are environmental comfort, sustainable growth, and ecological responsibility. These values underpin every stage of their design and production processes, ensuring that each system delivers efficiency, reliability, and long-term value.
Maxa’s versatile portfolio of heating and cooling solutions can be applied across a wide range of environments – from domestic homes and commercial offices to public facilities – whether for new-build projects or retrofits. With a comprehensive selection of heat pumps, Maxa provides reliable, adaptable solutions tailored to every installation requirement.
Through ESS, these advanced systems can be supplied and installed wherever high-quality climate control is needed – from cold, temperate environments to tropical conditions – ensuring environmental comfort and human wellbeing wherever they are deployed.
ESS is also recognised for its deep expertise and extensive product knowledge across a wide range of air source heat pumps and air conditioning systems.
Companies looking to transition to advanced heating and cooling solutions often face the challenge of sourcing skilled installers and maintenance engineers. ESS recognises that integrating new systems into commercial buildings – particularly older properties – can be complex. That’s why the company invests heavily in customer support and comprehensive training programs.
A key challenge across the industry is the shortage of qualified installers and technical expertise. ESS addresses this through its ongoing installer training programs for heat pumps, equipping professionals with the skills needed to optimise system performance. By partnering with businesses, ESS ensures that organisations get the maximum efficiency and reliability from their heating and air conditioning systems.
Its highly skilled technical team supports both complex industrial installations and standard commercial applications, ensuring businesses benefit from seamless access to the latest high-performance, energy-efficient technologies. Through strong partnerships with leading brands such as Maxa, ESS consistently delivers cutting-edge solutions to the UK market.
Beyond supply, ESS provides end-to-end support, including pre-sales consultations, expert system design guidance, comprehensive after-sales technical assistance, and some of the industry’s most respected ongoing training programs. With a strong commitment to low-carbon and eco-friendly solutions, ESS is helping businesses – one heat pump at a time – to achieve and exceed their net zero and ESG objectives.
