GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS in CAMBRIDGE
HOW IT WORKS
Ground Source Heat Pumps can harvest heat energy from under the ground, which can be used for space heating or domestic hot water heating. They work by absorbing underground heat, which is converted to useable heat via a heat pump. This works in the opposite way to cooling a refrigerator. The Ground Source Heat Pump cycle can deliver up to 4kW of heat energy for every kW of energy input into the system and is very efficient.
Air Source Heat Pumps work in a similar fashion to Ground Source Heat Pumps but utilise heat energy from the air rather than the ground. Air Source heat pumps require less space than Ground Source Heat Pumps and have a lower installation cost. However, Air Source Heat Pumps are generally less efficient and will typically deliver in the region of 3kW of heat energy for every kW of energy put into the system. “Whole life costs” and installation costs will need to be considered when making a decision about the most suitable type of heat pump to use. Our team can work with you in order to help you find the most effective product.
THE RENEWABLE HEAT INCENTIVE (RHI) IN PETERBOROUGH
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a government scheme that was set up to help encourage more households, businesses and communities to install renewable heat energy systems. The RHI scheme allows for a ‘premium payment’ of £1250 for the installation of a ground source or air source heat pump (subject to the scheme conditions being satisfied). Additionally, the scheme allows for ongoing payments for renewable energy produced. If you would like further information about the RHI scheme, please see our funding page.
Our Ground Source Heat Pumps are a good way to provide a new home with alternative heating. It may also be advantageous to integrate ground or air source heat pumps with solar panel systems. Due to our extensive experience in renewable energy technologies, we can help you find the most appropriate and cost effective renewable energy solutions, taking into account your budget and individual requirements.
Underfloor Heating in Cambridge & Peterborough
Underfloor heating is a great way to heat your home or business quickly and more efficiently.
