About Chris Dunphy and ChurchEcoMiser® Ltd
I established my own church heating business over 40 years ago. During that time, I served as the Heating Advisor to the Sheffield Diocese for over 10 years, and was also the Chairman of Rochdale Football Club until 2018. Over the past four decades, I have personally overseen more than 1200 church heating installations, ranging from historically significant buildings to modern churches, all of which play a vital role in their respective communities.
When I first started my career, most heating systems relied on gas or oil as their energy source, with little consideration for the environment. However, as technology advanced, boilers became more efficient, yet still relied on the same energy sources. As our environmental awareness improved, I realized the need to rethink fuel sources when designing new heating systems.
In 2016, I developed an all-electric heating system called the ChurchEcoMiser®. This system was designed to resemble and operate like a traditional radiator system, but without the need for a boiler or any water in the system. Although initially intended for churches without access to gas or dealing with oil theft, the ChurchEcoMiser® received widespread interest from churches looking to reduce their carbon footprint. This interest stems from the increasing shift towards renewable electricity as an alternative energy source, making the ChurchEcoMiser® an ideal solution.
Electricity is 100% efficient at the point of use, and when sourced from a 'green' supplier, the system can be considered carbon neutral. Additionally, the ChurchEcoMiser® is compatible with solar panels.
In 2020, to focus more on developing this innovative system, I decided to establish ChurchEcoMiser® as an independent company. It upholds the same commitment to quality installation that I have always maintained. With my extensive experience and knowledge in heating churches, I can provide you with the confidence you need to choose the right system.
I offer free surveys and personally visit each church, so if you would like to learn more, please feel free to contact me directly.
