Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps have been very popular in Europe for many years and are now starting to increase in popularity in the UK as people look to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprints. An air source heat pump works by drawing heat from the air and transferring it through a heat conducting fluid into energy that can heat a home. Air source heat pumps come in a range of different sizes designed to meet the needs of different households. Machines can range from two to twenty kilo watts in capacity and can be fitted to the roof or wall of a building.

Renewable Heating Systems

Heating homes and commercial premises is one of the most energy hungry processes in the UK and a number of systems have been designed to provide heating and hot water using alternative and more renewable methods of generating heat. The conventional method of burning fossil fuels to generate heat has proven to be unsustainable and dirty to the environment.

A ground source heat pump or GSHP is a pump that works within a ground source heat pump system and transfers the heat energy absorbed from the soil into fluid that it pumps through a heating or hot water system. How much heated liquid is pumped and at wha ...

Ground sourced heat pumps provide the fasted growing cost effective alternative source of renewable and sustainable energy. This heating option is becoming an attractive alternative, especially as the costs of fossil fuels escalate, resources diminish and ...

Ground source heat pumps is a new and efficient way of getting heat for your home or business. These work by extracting low grade energy from a mixture of water and antifreeze though a pipe. These pipes are called ground loops which would be installed und ...

Ground source heat pumps use pipes buried underground (in the garden) to extract heat from the ground. This is usually used in domestic properties to heat radiators or hot water. The pump can be used throughout the year as although the air temperature flu ...

This is a question that is often asked by many newbie learners who do not know the difference between each. Automatic lessons mean you learn in a car that has automatic gears in which the car does all the work for you. Manual lessons mean you learn in a c ...

Automatic driving can be very useful if you are struggling to drive a manual car, or feel you would be best suited to this type of lesson. It is much easier to start, stop and steer an automatic as you don't have to use a clutch to control the gears, beca ...

A ground source heat pump of GSHP system uses heat generated under the earth to provide heat to heating or hot water systems. A loop of pipe known as a ground loop is installed in either a trench or a borehole configuration. The trench ground loops are us ...
