The two types of heat pump we are interested in, are air source and ground source, as their names imply, ground source gathers heat from the ground and air source from the air.

Both types work by moving heat from a lower temperature heat supply to a higher temperature heat exchanger, in the same way that your freezer is extracting heat from the food compartment at around -16 and moving that heat to the back of your freezer at a much higher temperature.

Air Source
Air source heat pumps are an ideal choice where drilling or trenching is not viable, due to its design it is a excellent choice for those wishing to substantiality reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and to distance themselves from increasing energy costs.
These units can be connected to existing radiator heating systems, some radiator r-sizing may be required, as the circuit temperatures are a little lower than a system run by a conventional boiler.
We always recommend Nibe systems because of their build quality and performance. Nibe are based in Sweden and ar one of Europe's leading domestic heating manufacturers. £900 Grant available on installation


Ground Source

Ground source heat pumps either gather heat from bore holes drilled deep into the ground or a mat of pipes trenched thought the grounds of your property, if you only have a small amount of land or you have an established garden then trenching may not be an option, so we would choose bore hole drilling, a drilling company would carryout a survey as to feasibility.
These highly efficient heat pumps can reduce your energy consumption by 75%
