Make your home more energy efficient by switching to Renewable Energy.
The best way you can reduce your home's environmental impact is to make the switch to renewable energy. Renewable energy is harnessed from natural sources and transformed into usable forms of energy such as the electricity that powers your home and EV, or heat that keeps your home warm all year round.
Solar Panels allow you to generate electricity from the sun which is then used to power your home all year round. You can also store excess power and use it when you need it most by installing a battery storage system.
Heating your home with green energy is another great step towards sustainability. Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) and Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) are a hassle-free way of consistently heating your home, by extracting heat from outside and moving it into your home's radiators and hot water systems.
Our Renewables Team design, install and maintain a variety of renewable heating and power systems from leading manufacturers including Vaillant, GivEnergy, Mitsubishi and SolarEdge helping you towards your green living goals and a more sustainable future.
Installing an Air Source Heat Pump.
Mounted outside your home or office, air source heat pumps capture existing heat energy from the outside air, even in temperatures down to -15 degrees, instead of burning fuel to generate heat. They then transfer this energy to your home’s heating and hot water systems, achieving significantly higher levels of efficiency.
Air source heat pumps can be integrated with your existing central heating system, often working with your current radiators and pipework. A hot water cylinder is required if you want the heat pump to also provide domestic hot water. By making this switch, you'll not only reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and potentially lower your energy bills, but you will also contribute to a greener environment. The high efficiency of air source heat pumps means you'll be using less energy overall to achieve the same level of comfort.
For even greater energy independence and potential cost savings, it can be significantly beneficial to pair your air source heat pump with Solar Panels. The electricity generated by solar panels during daylight hours can directly power your heat pump, further reducing your reliance on the grid and maximising the use of renewable energy.
Harness solar energy and decrease your dependence on the grid.
Solar panels help you become less reliant on the national grid whilst making your home or business more environmentally friendly.
Our solar panel installations involve placing panels on your roof and an inverter in your home. By harnessing energy from the sun, even on cloudy days, solar panels generate a current of electricity which passes through an inverter, feeding energy directly into your home to power appliances or charge your EV. This energy can also be stored into a Battery Storage System to power your home outside of the daylight hours, on darker days or even export it to the national grid.
Solar panels use photovoltaic cells, made of positively and negatively charged silicon layers, to generate electricity. When sunlight hits these cells, it causes electrons to flow, creating an electric field. These electrons are then collected by conductive metal plates into a circuit, allowing them to flow freely, which creates usable electricity.
Collecting energy from the sun helps you cut your carbon footprint. On average, solar panels can pay for themselves through savings in your bills in around 14 years and require minimal ongoing maintenance across their average lifespan of 25-30+ years. Additionally, solar panels don’t create any noise-pollution when generating electricity which makes installation a non-intrusive process.Sustainably powering your homeSolar panels can directly power everyday household appliances, electric heating systems like radiators, EV charging points or underfloor heating with the electricity they generate. However, when it comes to heating water, it is more effective to turn to Solar Thermal Installations.
