We often associate solar energy with electricity which is created through solar panels, but it’s also possible to use the sun’s energy for heating purposes. A Solar Thermal system could provide all the hot water you need in the summer and a good proportion during the winter.
Heat Pumps are an energy efficient way to produce hot water and heat your home.
Air Source heat pumps absorb heat from the air.
Ground Source heat pumps absorb heat from the ground.
Using an air or ground source heat pump means less energy is required from the grid to heat your home and water, therefore energy bills are vastly reduced. Using less energy means lower carbon emissions.
The government has introduced the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to encourage property owners to install low carbon heating systems.
The scheme offers a one-off grant payment of:
Powerhug is an MCS certified installer and can apply for the grant on your behalf.
Traditional energy relies on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas that produce C02 when burnt. The amount of fossil fuels is limited which makes for a volatile market.
Renewable energy is a clean, green source of energy that uses natural resources, ensuring durability and an easy way to contribute to a sustainable future.
The average Solar PV installation can save around one ton of carbon every year.
