Improve the efficiency of your home heating
Boilers
Boilers are used to heat and control a heating or heating and hot water system. Central heating boilers can be powered by various different fuel types and are available in a wide variety of power (KW) ratings. They can be used for new boiler installations or replacement boiler installations, produced by leading manufacturers with differing warranty periods. It would also be recommended to talk to an installer for advice, and remember to ensure that the installation is serviced every year. The range covers conventional, system and combi variants depending on your location and requirements.
Central Heating Radiators
Central heating radiators are sometimes referred to by tradespeople as Trade radiators or panel radiators. They play a key role in helping to heat homes and offices. Whether you are renovating an existing property or installing in a new build, our huge range of sizes from top trade brands with great heat outputs can cater for any size of room. We have developed bespoke packaging for convector radiators to ensure that you receive your delivery, which is available next day, damage free. If you need to replace a faulty radiator quickly you can check stock, collecting in store in as little as a minute.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating is an effective alternative to traditional heating systems. These underfloor heating kits heat a space from the ground up and because they run at a lower temperature, they use less energy and cost less money. Underfloor heating pipe can be installed with many types of floor and give more flexibility in space design. This type of heating warms the whole room, meaning fewer cold spots.
Wall Mounted Air Conditioning Units
Heat pumps
HEAT PUMPS: WARM IN WINTER, COOL IN SUMMER
Heat pumps are used to warm or cool thermal energy, a cycle of evaporation and condensation occurs which transfers heat throughout your home creating a comfortable environment. Available for domestic or commercial premises, transferring heat rather than generating it. It’s a technology that appears new but one that’s has actually been used for decades in refrigerators and air conditioning systems. There are three main types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source and geothermal. A renewable energy solution, up to 400% efficient, which helps to reduce running costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
A heat pump is simply an electrically powered device that is capable of transferring heat from one place to another very efficiently – which also means they can cool spaces if the direction of heat transfer is reversed. Αll of the air in the world contains some amount of heat. So technically, it is possible to extract heat from air of any temperature and send it somewhere else, all it takes is a little energy to pump the heat to where we want it.
During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house. During the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your house into the outdoors. As the main source of heat generation comes from the environment itself, the amount of energy required to generate the necessary heating for your home is vastly reduced compared to other methods.
Because heat pumps are environmentally friendly, they are now also subsidized by government programs (see also Energy Savings at Home Program). It is estimated that by installing a heat pump you can save between 30% and 70% of the money you would otherwise spend on oil.
Of course! The heat pump also supplies the boiler with hot water for the house without having to turn on the water heater and wait for the water to heat up!
Not only great for cooling your home, a heat pump is an all-in-one year-round home comfort solution that can cool, heat, and provide hot water.
The answer is a resounding YES! Heat pumps are designed to function effectively even during the most extreme heatwaves.
The heat pump can be connected to an existing heating system, with some modifications and additions. To be more efficient, the radiators in the house should not be too old (known as ‘sliced’) and it does not perform as well as bathroom radiators (towel radiators).
Geothermal heat pumps are the most efficient way to cool your home. Using the constant temperature of the earth, which usually stays below 15 degrees Celsius even in the summer, they offer unparalleled efficiency during the hottest days. Compared to air-to-water heat pumps which use air with temperatures that can exceed 35 degrees Celsius, geothermal heat pumps consume significantly less energy.This can reduce your electricity consumption by 25 to 50 percent compared to air conditioners, directly reflecting on your electricity bills while significantly reducing the environmental impact.
Heat pumps are better for homes in moderate climates without extreme outdoor temperature fluctuations and want an energy-efficient option for both heating and cooling. However, if you live in an area with very cold winters, a heat pump will struggle to keep you warm in the winter, and an AC paired with a furnace would be a better fit.
Advantages
Low running costs
Low running costs can help to reduce household energy bills.
No need for fuel storage
A heat pump removes the need for fuel to be delivered and stored at home; a common problem for homes that are in off-gas areas and rely on alternative fuels, such as oil.
No emissions
Heat pumps operate using electricity (including from alternative sources such as solar power) and produce no emissions, making them much more environmentally-friendly than traditional heating systems.
Efficient regardless of temperature
Heat pumps can operate at high efficiency levels even in cold temperatures. Just 25% of the energy used by a heat pump is provided by electricity, with the remaining 75% being generated by the environment through the ground, water or air (depending on your type of heat pump system).
Sustainable
The utilisation of natural energy sources such as air, ground, and water means the approach to heating and hot water production is particularly sustainable.
Extremely quiet
Heat pumps are incredibly quiet and can therefore be positioned anywhere without causing any noise disruption.
Flexible
Heat pumps work well with both underfloor heating and radiators with low surface temperatures.
Long service life
Modern heat pump units have life expectancies which are on average double that of a typical domestic boiler, with boilers typically expected to last around 10-12 years, and heat pumps having an average lifespan of 20-25 years.
