Solar heating is not really suitable for churches as the heating needs are usually at times when there is insufficient sunlight to provide the required amount of heat; when there is sufficient light, i.e during the summer months, there is to much water produced with little demand or need for it. Solar is best suited to domestic needs or for creating electricity to sell to the National Grid.
Air source heat pumps absorb the heat from the outside air, this heat can then be used to heat radiators, under-floor heating systems or warm air convector heaters and hot water in your home. An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in a similar way that a fridge extracts heat from the inside and can get heat even when the temperature is as low as -15°C. Heat pumps do have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to operate but the heat that they extract from the ground, air or water is being constantly renewed naturally.
ChurchEcoMiser is a new and exciting approach for heating churches using electricity as a fuel source and we believe the first genuinely new type of system designed specifically for churches in a generation. It is designed to warm the fabric of the building evenly and gently with individual radiators sited throughout the church. The system has all the benefits of a traditional hot water based system but without the water or the boiler. I thought you would like to know we are very happy with how warm the church feels, even though we are only heating to 16 degrees for services.
As well as designing and installing heating systems our business also now includes the service and maintenance of church and church building heating systems. When we install a heating system for you we like to keep in touch and offer our customers a full after sales service. This not only ensures that the system will be running at its optimum efficiency throughout its life but also gives you the customer the confidence that we are always there to support you.
