SOLAR ENERGY
- Are you fed up with ever-increasing fuel prices?
- Want to beat the crunch in 2009?
- Are you concerned about Global Warming and the effects it is having on the planet?
Solar Energy has been PROVEN to be the solution
We have all seen shocking rises in the cost of domestic energy over the past few years. Electricity and gas bills are rising dramatically with more hikes to come. We can offer a sensible, economical solution. We have joined forces with prominent UK companies to bring solar technology into every home, offering affordable solar energy systems throughout Wiltshire.
Commonly asked questions
But surely we need more sunshine than we currently get to power the systems?
Wrong! Our systems only require daylight so they work come rain or shine.
But will the cost of installation ever be recovered?
Yes! Rising fuel costs have brought the systems into acceptable comparison levels.
Surely fuel prices will come down soon?
Sadly no. There is no sign of prices even slowing down let alone reducing. As the world runs out of natural resources prices can do nothing but increase.

GROUND SOURCE PUMPS
Ground Source Heat Pumps and Water Source Heat Pumps work by absorbing the heat from the sun which is stored in the earth or in water between 1m and 2m depth. Ground Source and Water Source Heat Pumps use a system of flexible pipes containing fluid are buried underground or in water which absorb, then carry heat into your house. Air Source Heat Pumps extract heat from the outside air temperature wth the help of an air handling system,
Heat Recovery, like that of air source heat pumps, can also be extracted from excess or waste heat within a building such as from a hot loft, a conservatory or in the commercial world from machines exhaust.
All Heat Pumps work a bit like a fridge (BUT BACKWARDS), transferring heat from one source to another.
Benefits
Ground Source Heat pumps tap into a constant heat source rarely affected by surface temperatures, offering you year round heating.
All Heat pumps produce between 3 - 5 times the amount of renewable energy than electricity required to power them.
Heat pumps are best installed with solar water heating to provide a complete hot water and heating solution.
Is it suitable for my home?
- You will need space outside your house for the ground loop.
- The ground will need to be suitable for digging a trench or borehole.
- What fuel is being replaced? If it's electricity, oil, LPG or coal the savings will be more favourable than gas. Heat pumps are a good option where gas is unavailable.
- The type of heat distribution system. Ground source heat pumps can be combined with radiators but these will normally be larger than with standard boiler systems. Under floor heating is better as it works at a lower temperature.
- Want to further reduce your home's carbon dioxide emissions? Install solar PV or some other form of renewable electricity generating system to power the compressor and pump.
- Is the system for a new building development? Combining the installation with other building works can reduce costs.
- Have you installed insulation measures? Wall, floor and loft insulation will lower your heat demand and make the system more effective.
