Our services include:
- Solar panel installations
- Ground source heat pump installations
With energy conservation and rising fuel costs in mind, we are one of the few local companies who can advise on and install renewable technologies to your home or business.
Solar power
If your central heating system provides a store of hot water in a cylinder, you now have the opportunity to make significant savings on your hot water heating bills. Solar water heating can supply 50-70% of the hot water you use every year.
The remaining portion of your hot water demand will be provided by your central heating boiler in the normal way.
Installing solar panels provides immediate savings on your fuel bills and major benefits to the environment.
As an indication, a well sized typical installation will provide the following proportion of the household domestic hot water requirement:
| Season |
% of requirement fulfilled by solar |
| |
|
| Summer |
80 - 90 |
| Autumn |
40 - 50 |
| Spring |
40 - 50 |
| Winter |
20 - 30 |
Ground Source Heat Pumps
A ground source heat pump circulates a mixture of water and antifreeze around a loop of pipe - called a ground loop - which is buried in your garden.
When the liquid travels around the loop it absorbs heat from the ground - used to heat radiators, underfloor heating systems and even hot water.
The length of the ground loop depends on the size of your home and the amount of heat you need - longer loops can draw more heat from the ground.
Normally the loop is laid flat, or coiled in trenches about two metres deep, but if there is not enough space in your garden we can install a vertical loop to a depth of up to 100 metres.
