Geowarmth Heat Pumps

Geowarmth provide expert advice, design and install the systems. Whether it be solar PV, biomass, heat pumps or solar thermal, Geowarmth have renewable energy solutions for offices, hotels, schools, care homes, public and community buildings. Geowarmth only install quality and accredited equipment from the world's leading manufacturers of renewable energy technologies, allowing you to benefit from incentives such as the Renewable Heat Incentive.

We specialise in biomass, ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps, combined heat and power, solar thermal and solar photovoltaic systems. In order to ensure that we provide a complete heating solution, we also install underfloor heating, radiators and domestic hot water cylinders. We were first established in 2004 and are based in the north east of England. Geowarmth operate nationally although most of our work is between the M62 and Scottish central belt in areas such as Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cleveland, Tyne and Wear, Teeside, Northumberland, Durham, Scottish Borders, Dumfries and Galloway.

The Geowarmth team of qualified plumbers can install bathrooms as well as renewable energy sytems. Hot and cold distribution pipework, sanitaryware, shower cubicles, wet rooms, ventilation, lighting, tiling, towel rails are all part of the Geowarmth service as well as any associated building work. Our building services work includes constructing internal walls, plastering, replacement doors, windows and ceilings. Geowarmth provide a complete bathroom package. We undertake the replacement of bathrooms as well as installations in new build properties.

Domestic expenditure on heating represents around half of annual energy spend so having an efficient boiler can make a significant difference to energy bills. Replacing an old G rated boiler with a new A rated boiler can typically save around 340 a year, according to Energy Savings Trust. As well as being certificated in renewable energy installations, Geowarmth's qualified plumbers are also GasSafe registered and qualified to install unvented hot water and heating systems. Geowarmth can provide both combination boilers which do not need a hot water cylinder because they heat the domestic hot water instantly as the water is drawn off and system boilers which use a hot water cylinder to store the domestic hot water.

These thermostatically controlled heaters have achieved running cost savings of up to 47% compared with electric radiators or storage heaters. Against a standard storage heater Quantum san save up to 27%. Geowarmth's installation of electric heating includes new build properties as well as replacing and upgrading existing systems. A 10 year manufacturer's warranty provides added peace of mind. There is no annual servicing requirement and electric heating is well known for being safe and reliable.

A ground source heat pump or geothermal heat pump is an electrically powered device that uses the earth's natural storage of (mainly) solar heat and moves this to provide heating, hot water (or cooling) for buildings. A heat pump can extract heat from ground water directly (open loop) or from the ground via collector pipes (closed loop). Heat pump technology is well proven with components in a heat pump similar to a refrigerator. For more information see our schematic of how a heat pump works. Commercial applications of ground source heat pumps include district heating schemes for dwellings, offices, shops, schools, hospitals and public and community buildings.

Compared to a ground source heat pump, an air source heat pump benefits from lower installation costs. Some models of air source heat pump also operate in reverse mode to provide active cooling. Simultaneous heating and cooling is also possible. Geowarmth offer air source heat pumps from leading European manufacturers such as Delonghi, Dimplex and Mitsubishi. Modular capability and seqeuncing controllers allow flexibility for the largest scale of installation. Larger three phase models incorporate twin or quadruple compressors for multiple stages of power.

An air source heat pump extracts heat from the air, even when the temperature is as low as -20oC and converts it to useable heat to provide heating and hot water. For a longer explanation refer to our schematic of how a heat pump works. The air source heat pump is normally positioned just outside the property and connects to a control system, circulation pump and domestic hot water cylinder located in say a utility room or cupboard. Domestic air source heat pumps are usually inverter controlled which means they can operate at different outputs to suit the ambient weather conditions and the heating needs of the building.

There are a number of system configurations. The starting point is that an outdoor unit connects to an indoor unit using refrigerant pipework. A single room system would typically have one indoor unit and one outdoor unit. This can also be a cost effective way of dealing a small number of individual rooms. Larger systems can comprise a single outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units; this is known as a multi split system which can provide either heating or cooling at the same time. Common applications would be retail and open plan offices.

Geowarmth offers a number of different solutions for renewable energy in commercial premises. Geowarmth have a wealth of experience installing renewable energy solutions in offices, shops, hospitals, care homes, schools, community buildings, health centres and churches. Environmentally friendly and low carbon our solutions allow our clients to benefit from incentives such as the Renewable Heat Incentive. Geowarmth have installed renewable energy systems throughout the UK. Our installations in England include projects in London, Humberside, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Cleveland, Teeside, Durham, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear (Newcastle and Sunderland), Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester.

Geowarmth provide heating and hot water for domestic premises from geothermal ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps, solar thermal panels, micro combined heat and power (CHP) boilers and biomass boilers. Geowarmth also install domestic hot water cylinders, radiators and underfloor heating thus providing our clients with a complete heating and hot water solution. Installations are undertaken by our in-house team who have completed hundreds of successful projects using technologies from both major international and local manufacturers.
