A Ground Source Heatpump uses the natural energy stored in the ground to heat your home, the Greenstore range of heatpumps are suitable for a variety of properties and are designed to be the sole source of heating and hot water in the home. Combi Heatpumps have an integral cylinder built in so saving installation space. A System heatpump requires a separate cylinder and can also be incorporated with a solar system to suplement the hot water. Heat pumps are an extremely efficient way of heating the property, for every 1Kw of electricity required to power the heatpump, the system could generate up to 4Kw or more in energy for the home.
It's easy to see how the sun can generate enough energy to provide hot water on a hot sunny day, but did you know that modern solar panels work very efficiently in diffused light? So much so that solar can provide up to 70% of your annual hot water requirements. All that is needed is a south facing roof for optimum exposure, although any roof orientation from east through to west can be utilised effectively. As mentioned above, up to 70% of your annual hot water may be provided by your solar system.
