Baxi-SenerTec UK

Company Profile
Created to lead the Baxi Group’s development in sustainable energy systems, the role of Baxi-SenerTec UK is to direct and focus the Group’s activities on technologies which could have a fundamental impact on the heating industry. Primarily these are considered to be in the area of mini-CHP, however in the future this may include other technologies.

Baxi-SenerTec UK offer a dedicated team with extensive knowledge of CHP and heating system applications gained through many years experience across a variety of companies.


What is Combined Heat & Power (CHP)?
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) is an extremely efficient way of producing usable heat and generating electricity simultaneously at the point of use from a single fuel. CHP offers an economic and environmentally friendly alternative to meeting thermal and electrical demands in many applications.

By generating heat and electricity from a single source, CHP can deliver overall fuel efficiencies well in excess of 75%. When compared with electricity generated from a centralised power station, and the use of heat only boilers, CHP can reduce primary energy needs by up to 30%. This can considerably reduce energy costs and deliver significant reductions in harmful greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2).
