The principals of all our heating solutions are based on one clever piece of engineering, heat pumps. You might not realise it, but you probably already own at least one heat pump. They're what make fridges cold and air conditioning cool. When it comes to heating buildings, heat pumps take warmth from the environment, compress it to produce more heat and transfer it to the heat distribution system.

Here's how...Source your energy
Heat pumps take energy from different sources: the ground, the air and water. The choice of source depends on the building's situation.

...extract your heat
Heat pump is made up of three components: an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser.
The fluid in the pipes warms the refrigerant in the evaporator, which vaporises. The gaseous refrigerant is then drawn into the compressor. As the pressure in the compressor rises, the gases get hotter. The condenser then transfers this heat to the distribution system.

...spread the warmth
Our heat pumps can be used with traditional radiators or underfloor heating and provide enough warmth to provide all your hot water too.

Heat pumps run on electricity and every unit of electrical energy used, you get between 3 and 5 units of heat energy in return, making the heat pump very efficient. One of the other benefits of heat pumps is that they require no annual servicing.
 

Ground source heat pumps
They utilise energy from the ground to provide DHW and central heating. In summer, the cooler temperatures underground can be used for cooling purposes.

Air|Water heat pump
They yield sufficient energy from the outside air, even at temperatures as low as -20 °C to provide DHW and central heating. Air|water heat pumps are specially suitable for modernisation projects.
