Solar Panels | Ground Source Heat Pumps | Air to Water Heat Pumps
SOLAR PANELS
Solar panels harness the power in both direct and indirect sunlight and convert the energy to heat to produce hot water for the home. Our solar panels are designed to work alongside existing heating systems which use a store of hot water in a cylinder. The cylinder requires two heat exchanger coils, one to connect to the boiler in the property and one to connect to the solar panels.
A solar system which has been designed correctly should provide between and 50 and 70% of the domestic hot water requirements of a typical home.
GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps make use of heat differentials between the air and the ground. The ground remains warmer than air during the winter, and this energy is available for extraction by a heat pump. Heat pumps use a refrigerant circuit to increase the temperature differential to a level which can be utilised to provide heating and hot water for your home.
The system comprises of a ground source heat pump, hot water store and the system used to deliver the heat to the property, usually an underfloor heating circuit or oversized radiators. Heat pumps are designed to provide a total heating and hot water solution for your home, and in most cases means the existing heating sources in the property can be removed.
AIR TO WATER HEAT PUMPS
Air source heat pumps utilise heat from the outside air and convert it into heat which can be used with a standard heating and hot water system (usually underfloor heating or oversized radiators). Air source heat pumps utilise a refrigerant circuit (similar to a fridge) to increase the temperatures to a level which can be utilised to provide heating and hot water for your home. Air source heat pumps are so effective they are able to extract heat from the air even at temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees centigrade.
Air source heat pumps are designed to provide a total heating and hot water solution for your home, and in most cases means the existing heating sources in the property can be removed.
