AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
Switch to renewable heating technology with an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) to achieve a greener future.
The ASHP extract thermal energy (heat) from the outside air and converts it into heating and hot water for your home. ASHPs are designed to work in cold temperatures.
Even when the outside temperature is below zero, 100% of your heating and hot water needs can be met.
The ASHP will be installed outside your living area and require a solid base to sit on or structurally secure wall to be mounted to.
The ASHP will keep your home at the temperature you decide, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year...AND help reduce your heating bills. It is all about you and what you want.
GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) extract thermal energy (heat) from the ground at your property and converting it into heating and hot water for your home. GSHPs are designed to work in cold temperatures and are incredibly efficient. Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource that can be harnessed for use as heat.
When outside temperatures are below zero, 100% of your heating and hot water needs can still be met by the Ground Source Heat Pump. This is because the ground temperature is around 6 - 12 degrees all year round.
Ground source heat pumps are suitable for homes that have suitable land to install Ground Arrays or a Borehole system.
A Ground Array consists of a series of pipes that are installed underground in a circa 1-meter deep trench. The pipes then absorb thermal energy from the ground, which is used by the heat pump to generate heating and hot water. Ground arrays do require more room than borehole systems so are better suited for properties with ample land.
The Borehole systems are better suited for properties that have limited land space. Boreholes are created by drilling a hole(s) into the ground circa 120-150 meters deep to reach thermal energy deeper in the earth. The greater the depth of the borehole, the hotter the temperatures and more thermal energy can be absorbed. The depth of the hole depends on your property as the hole(s) will be sized to accommodate the heating and hot water demands the system will need to cater for.
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC
Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) is one of the most effective sources of renewable energy that help protect the environment. It has gained popularity in the UK and is becoming more affordable and easier than ever to generate electricity.
Solar PV is a popular way to capture solar energy directly from the sun to produce electricity and feed directly into your home consumer unit or storage battery and any surplus is fed to the grid.
A Solar PV panel consists of many cells made from layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. When light shines on this material, a flow of electricity is created. The Solar PV panel even work on cloudy days. However, the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is generated.
Solar PV panels are considered ‘permitted developments’ and often do not require planning permission. However, exceptions apply and it is best to check with your local Planning Office for guidance. If you live in a listed building, conservation area, national park or have a flat roof, additional restrictions may apply.
Investing in a solar power system makes you less reliant on the National Grid for your electricity and you can enjoy cheaper electricity throughout the day. If you invest in battery storage, you could continue using solar energy even after the sun goes down.
Once installed, solar panels require little maintenance. They are generally installed at an angle which allows rainwater to run off freely, washing dirt and dust away.
Solar panels are generally good investment for your home. Current trends in the energy market mean that a home with solar panels (if properly marketed with a focus on the fuel savings and tariff payments) could command a higher price in the future than one without.
SOLAR BATTERY
Solar Battery storage helps you to make the most of your electricity generated by Solar PV Panels. A battery storage system harnesses surplus energy produced by the Solar PV system.
Solar PV systems frequently produce more electricity than is demanded. Without a battery storage system, this surplus electricity cannot be used, resulting in sending it to the grid for a nominal payment. By installing Solar Battery, you get free electricity to power your home at ‘peak’ hours and in the night.
Conserving energy for when and where it is needed will ensure your home’s carbon footprint decreases. Solar batteries help you become less reliant on non-renewable energy sources to power your home.
Solar Battery storage is the future for homes and small businesses who want to store the sun’s energy and deliver clean, reliable electricity when the sun is not shining. You can combine Solar PV, Solar Battery, an Electric Vehicle with an Electric Vehicle Charger to create a near zero emission lifestyle, subject to the size of the Solar PV system that can be installed.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
With the UK Government's plans to accelerate greener transport, Electric Vehicle (EV) ownership is set to skyrocket over the coming years, significantly increasing the volume of electric cars and vans registered on the UK roads.
The UK Government has banned the sale of all new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles by 2030 to combat alarming levels of air pollution. In result, more motorists will be considering switching to EV, benefitting from The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) Government funding and lower fuel costs.
Whilst you can use a regular UK three-pin socket, it is much slower than a dedicated EV Charger and may also involve running charging cables from inside your home. The extension cables should not be used for vehicle charging for safety reasons.
Installing a home EV charging station is perfect for any EV owner looking to invest in future-proofing their home, reduce reliance upon public EV charging stations and maximise the savings that can be achieved from EV ownership. Some solar compatible EV chargers will still use the grid to charge your car when solar energy is not available.
SOLAR THERMAL HEATING
Solar Thermal works in a similar way to leaving a hosepipe out in the sun. It generates renewable heated water by collectors on the roof, absorbing the radiated energy from the sun. Sun energy heats the fluid, which is pumped around a sealed circuit, through the collectors and into a coil within a specially designed hot water cylinder. The hot water is then stored in the cylinder until it is needed.
There are two types of Solar Thermal collectors used in solar heating systems: Flat-Plate and Evacuated Tube Collectors. The main feature of the flat-plate collector is the black absorber surface which is positioned towards the sun. The absorber surface coating has been designed such that it absorbs maximum radiation and reflects a low amount of energy. The absorbed energy is then transferred to the heat carrier fluid circulating in the pipes, below the absorber surface. The principle of the evacuated tube collector is the same as the flat-plate collectors. They absorb the solar radiation via absorbers and then transfer it in the form of thermal energy to a fluid.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system is increasingly used in new buildings to provide controlled ventilation. They are based on air supply, air extract and transfer zones within the building.
The MVHR unit is normally installed in the loft space or cupboard and the rigid ducting supplies fresh filtered air to the habitable rooms and extracts stale polluted air from the ‘wet’ rooms. Supply and extract diffusers are fitted to the ceilings and are adjusted to balance the system.
Before the extracted air is exhausted out of the building, the heat contained in that air is transferred by means of a heat exchanger into the fresh air, which is introduced into the building. MVHR uses much less energy, compared to conventional Air Conditioning Systems
Although MVHR is more often used for new residential buildings, it is also suitable for most of the present commercial buildings which are heated and need ventilation.
