Samsung Electronics has been awarded Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) status by the Carbon Trust for its DVM S Inverter VRF systems.
The DVM S VRF System achieved a coefficient of performance (COP) threshold of more than the required 3.80 and an energy efficient ratio (EER) of more than the 3.40 threshold set by the Government.

Operated by the Carbon Trust for the Government, the ECA scheme, gives business tax relief for investing in energy efficient products from the approved Energy Technology List. Under the scheme, it is possible for businesses to claim 100% first year capital allowance on these products.

Vice president, Enterprise Business Team at Samsung Electronics, Graham Long, said, 'We take great pride in the environmental performance of our products and our VRF systems achieving ECA status is further proof of our efforts in this area. Our business customers will now be able write off the capital cost of purchasing these products from us which, together with the energy efficiency savings, will significantly reduce the overall cost of ownership.'

The DVM S systems now have a COP of up to 4.94 and EER of up to 4.49.
