From 2016 it will no longer be permitted to install gas boilers for central heating in new domestic properties (replacements will be permitted) so the options will be electric heating, solar heating or heat pumps.

Reduce your running costs by up to 30%

Heat pumps consume electricity in order to operate. However as they extract the available heat from either the air or the ground, using the refrigeration process this is converted into usable heat in the home. Today we have equipment available which has an approximate COP of 4.00 meaning you get 4 kw of heat out of the system but only pay for 1 kw of electricity to run it. Heat pumps can reduce the CO2 emissions of the home by up to 40% and the running costs by up to 30%.

What are Air-Source Heat Pumps?

Heat pumps use energy stored in the air and convert this to heat for space heating and hot water production. Low temperature energy from the air is collected through a refrigerant cycle, which converts this energy to usable heat for use inside the home.

What is an Air to Air System?

An air-to-air system produces warm or cool air which is circulated by fan coil units to heat or cool your home. This flexibility means you can heat your home in the winter and as an added benefit of cooling it in the summer.

What is an Air to Water System?

An air-to-Water system produces heating which is circulated by using either radiators or under floor heating. In addition produces hot water via a heat pump cylinder.

What is a Ground Source Heat Pump?

A Ground source heat pump acts in the same way as an air source heat pump but instead of using air as the heat source they use pipes which are buried in the garden to extract heat from the ground. This heat can then be used to heat radiators, under floor or warm air heating systems and hot water in your home.

What is a Solar Thermal?

Solar Thermal harnesses the energy given out by the sun and uses this to give you hot water (Even on cold days) this can save you up to 60% on hot water bills.

What is the Green Deal?

The Energy Act 2011 includes provisions for the new 'Green Deal', which intends to reduce carbon emissions cost effectively by revolutionising the energy efficiency of British properties. The new innovative Green Deal financial mechanism eliminates the need to pay upfront for energy efficiency measures and instead provides reassurances that the cost of the measures should be covered by savings on the electricity bill.
