"All
our installations come with a warranty
on parts and services and a maintenance
package "

Ground
source heat pumps have been around for many
years and although they are not a new technology
the efficiency of them has improved
Ground source heat pumps are a tried and tested technology. With thousands
of systems already in operation they are a proven alternative to inefficient
oil and gas boilers and present an extremely efficient way of heating
your home or business.

Ground
Source heat pumps to become more ‘common
place’
“For the new build market; tightening regulation and plans for gas supplies
to be no longer installed to new build residential properties make a ground source
heat pump installation a desirable efficient solution for developers”
“ For the retro fit market; rapidly rising gas and oil prices coupled with
the huge financial incentives on offer from the government, through schemes like
the RHI and the green deal are really set to drive the uptake of heat pump technology
into the mainstream of providing heating for buildings”
New
Policy - The RHI is Looking Good!
Although the actual legislation for the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive)
has not yet being released, initial perceptions of what is included
sound very positive.
News of the imminent release of the scheme has created a real sense
of excitement within the industry and amongst consumers too.
It seems that the government are genuinely set to deliver on their
commitment to technologies such as ground source heat pumps, air
source heat pumps and solar thermal; and in particular within the
domestic sector.
Just like with the feed in tariff it appears that huge benefits will
be available for those who invest in the likes of solar thermal and
heat pumps.
|
We
have listed a few of the proposed details of
the scheme:
|
"20
years' worth" of RHI to be paid out
to system owner over 7 years
"Deemed" rather
than metered heat (in most cases),
meaning tariffs could be paid on
estimated rather than actual usage,
paid out quarterly by Ofgem
Could
Essentially involve a boiler
replacement scheme, renewables
in exchange for "dirty" boiler
After
lengthy speculation, air source
heat pumps are IN! (that is air-to-water
units)
|
|
Solar
Thermal to receive best available tariff
(proposed 17.3p/kwh)
Gas
connected properties are IN
Extra
incentive to fit
solar thermal combined
with heat pumps (super
efficient!)
Tariffs
Matrix - rates paid to vary
depending on whether it is
new build or existing, private
or social housing, off-gas
or gas grid etc.)
Max.
system size of 45kW for all
technologies (MCS upper limit)
RHPP & other
funded existing installations
ARE eligible (tariffs adjusted
to account for funding already
given)
Green
Deal financed supplement to
reduce up-front cost should
be possible
Green
Deal Advice Report a MUST;
all "Green Ticks" highlighted
(except solid wall insulation)
must be done before RHI eligible
