Solar Heating
As fossil fuel prices rise, boiler manufacturers are continuously looking for new ways to heat our homes using renewable energy sources. We strive to keep up to date with these new technologies and are continuously updating our skills with further training so that we can pass on the benefits to our customers.
Solar heating
Using the sun's energy to heat water is not a new technology, however the way solar panels look is. Solar panels can meet up to approximately 60% of a home's domestic hot water needs, whilst also being an environmentally sound way to significantly reduce your energy bills.
We install systems that use the sun's energy to heat domestic hot water from solar panels generally mounted on a roof
Most modern solar water panels can mount flush with a home's roof and resemble skylights so can look quite discreet, or attach to an existing roof surface.
They come in a variety of configurations, usually mounted portrait or landscape in pairs. The geographic location, system design, collector orientation and collector size will determine how much energy can be provided for your individual domestic hot water needs.
Ground source heat pumps
A ground source heat pump unit uses the natural energy stored in the earth to heat your home and are suitable for a variety of properties.
They are designed to be the sole source of heating and hot water in the home. System heat pumps require a separate cylinder and can also be used with solar water heating. Combi heat pumps have an integrated cylinder.
Some systems require the collectors to be buried in large trenches but modern systems using borehole technology means that they can be installed in even the smallest of gardens. They are typically about 70% cheaper to run than traditional heating systems.
For every single kilowatt of electricity used to power the ground source heat pumps, this system could generate four kilowatts or more in energy for your home.
