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:
