We are a small and ethically-minded company and have been involved in the plumbing and heating industry for over 30 years in and around Essex. We specialise in sustainable Multi-fuel Heating Systems, which can combine gas or oil boilers with wood-burning stoves, solar panels, and heat pumps which can supply your hot water and heating needs, whether by conventional radiators or underfloor heating. We specialise in the design and installation of these user friendly and cost effective alternative systems, to whatever specification you would desire.
We specialise in the design and installation of these user friendly and cost effective alternative systems, to whatever specification you would desire. These renewable heating systems are designed to keep your boiler working in condensing mode (if it has to work at all) giving you the best efficiency possible from your appliances and saving you money and energy at the same time. With spiraling fuel costs and the need for a cleaner more efficient method of heating our homes, these types of 'greener' heating systems make great economical sense, and are completely upgradeable.
Ground source and air source heat pumps make use of the low temperature heat from the ground or air. They alter it to a higher more useful temperature through a heat pump and condenser which can be utilised to heat your hot water and heating system. This heat from a natural resource represents a very carbon efficient form of space heating. Due to the low temperatures generated through these systems, it is generally only suitable for use with underfloor heating systems, where lower flow temperatures are required to heat a building.
Solar thermal is regarded as the most cost effective and affordable renewable energy technology currently available for the domestic and commercial market. It is a common misconception that solar thermal panels or tubes only work when the sun is shining. Solar thermal works with diffused radiation, and will give very good results even on a cloudy day. Solar water heating systems are ideal for domestic water heating and also for swimming pools. We can design and install systems to give a maximum solar gain for your application including types of panel or tube, controls, and the type of cylinder which would most suit the installation.
A selection of our Gas condensing boilers carries a 5 year parts and labour guarantee, and many cylinders carry a 25 year + lifetime guarantee. We are always prepared and happy to offer you our expert technical advice based on our wealth of experience and knowledge. We can carry out all plumbing requirements from the design stage to the installation. Including full bathroom suites, 'wet rooms', utility rooms, and water softeners, from tiling, electrical works, and decorating if required.
This is basically a length of multi-layered pipe which is installed into a heat sink, generally a screeded solid floor base, with warm water introduced into the pipe from a pumped manifold. This will warm the complete slab and introduced a comfortable and even temperature and enable the property to be heating using substantially less energy than if you were using radiators. When the floor is up to temperature it only needs small inputs of energy to maintain that temperature to the space being heated.
