Solo Heating Installations design and install heating and renewable energy systems throughout the UK. From Underfloor Heating to Ground Source Heat Pumps, Solo will take you from system selection to final commissioning. Just like our partners Solo Timber Frame, we believe that service is the most important thing when selecting a company to install new systems for your self build or development. New technologies are becoming available to home owners to cut down on running costs, improving efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
Solar panels or Solar Collectors are the most well known eco-friendly energy option. Their foreseeable payback periods mean that homeowners can now see the cost benefits of solar panel systems far quicker than previously. Solo Heating Installations can install flat solar panels or evacuated tube solar panels including drain back and sealed systems. There are two types of solar panel, flat panel design and evacuated tubes. The evacuated tube solar panels are more efficient but for this efficiency you will pay around 15% more for the collectors themselves.
Ground Source Heat Pumps use a buried ground loop that transfers heat from the ground into the building. Heat supplied by the NIBE Ground Source Heat Pumps that we install will provide all of the hot water and space heating requirements for your home. Solo can take the installation of ground source heat pumps right from the early ground survey stages, through to the end commissioning of the ground source the heat pump unit. The efficiency of ground source heat pumps is measured by the coefficient of performance (CoP).
Air Source Heat Pumps are becoming an increasingly popular choice for home heating. They can be installed in new homes and just as easily retrofitted into renovation projects. But what makes air source heat pump such a viable heating alternative, and how do they work? Quite simply, the air source heat pump has a motor powered by electricity that supplies more energy than it consumes. For every kw unit of energy purchased as electricity, around 4.1 units of heat are delivered. The unit itself works on pressurising refrigerant to create a heat output.
The majority of modern underfloor heating systems are warm water systems, which integrate high tech plastic pipe either within or just below the floor. Water at a temperature of around 34°C is circulated through the pipes and this warms the floor to a surface temperature of 25-28°C, about the same temperature as the palm of your hand. This is what makes underfloor heating so naturally comfortable. The heat generated by radiators is transferred from a small surface area far hotter than the space it is heating.
Your home will be well insulated and draught sealed to comply with the new Building Regulations, but unless you have effective ventilation, the air you breathe inside your home may be up to ten times more polluted than the air by a busy road. New homes are extremely air tight, and require correct ventilation in order to protect them from problems in the future. A Heat Recovery System will take care of all the extract and ventilation requirements, but also reduce energy consumption in the home by recovering otherwise wasted heat.
We have compiled a wealth of information on the different systems that we can offer you. We are experienced installers of the below systems; and we are also long term MCS registered installers of Heat Pumps and Solar. This ensures we can deliver high quality installation practices and offer grants to our customers. Every house and customer requirement is different, and we have to size each system to each property. We will look at a range of options and variables to ensure the system is correctly matched to the property it is going into.
