At Solar Energy UK, as well as specialising in solar installations of solar panels we also experts at installing heat pumps. The two kinds of heat pumps that we install are air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps. As government-approved renewable energy and solar installers, we provide a high quality and low cost service.

Benefits of Heat Pumps
Here are some of the benefits you will get from using a heat pump.
Improved Home Energy Performance
Reduction in CO2 of 30-50%
Up to 60% savings over oil-based heating
Up to 40% savings over gas-based heating
No need for flues, ventilation or gas supply
Low maintenance + low running cost
Air Source Heat Pumps
In effect, an air source heat pump can replace your boiler. They will be able to take care of the heating from your home and provide you with all of the hot water that you need. Taking the heat from the surrounding air, they distribute it around the house. This will work even on very cold days because of the effective way that they have been designed.
While some power is necessary to drive the heat pump, they will actually be able to produce between 3 to 5 times more in heat energy than it takes to power them, which means that they have an efficiency of 300%-500%!
The system for the heat pump will be integrated into your existing heating system and will provide you with massive savings. If you have a gas boiler the savings will be up to 40% or if you have an oil-fired boiler the savings will be up to an impressive 60%.
At Solar Energy UK we will be able to survey your property and determine, based on your current system, what would be the best way to integrate an air source heat pump. We will then be able to draw up plans and install the system in short order, so that you can be making the benefits as soon as possible!
If you are interested in getting a grant from the government to help you to afford making your home more efficient, contact your local council as they may have energy efficiency grants to offer.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
As with the air source variety, ground source heat pumps take the energy which is ever present all around us in the environment to heat your home. In this case, of course, they take the energy from the heat always present in the ground. In fact, 75% of all the energy generated by ground source heat pumps comes from the ground. This makes them massively efficient, in the order of 400%-500%!
At Solar Energy UK we can design the system that will make best use of your current situation, after surveying the property of course. Our professional, MCS accredited solar installers will be able to do this quickly, inexpensively and to the highest of standards.
The fact that we are government-approved renewable energy and solar installers means that by using Solar Energy UK you are also going to qualify for any further schemes introduced by the government. The next one coming up is the Renewable Heat Incentive which will be relevant for the ground source heat pump, and will give you money for every unit of energy you produce in this way. This will be available for non-domestic use late in 2011 and for residences from October 2012.
