Ground sourced heat pumps (GSHP) are often the more expensive renewable heating option but they bring the highly desirable benefits of being the most reliable and lowest maintenance solution. This is demonstrated by the 2.5 million worldwide installations, with many now over 20 years old. Carbon Legacy's involvement goes back to 1999 when David Hill, Managing Director, was the developer of the seventh UK GSHP installation for a new office building in Nottingham. This was a very successful world first that provided commercial heating and cooling.

In this day and age, with skyrocketing fuel bills and the introduction of the Renewable Heat Incentive, an increasing number of people are turning to alternative means and renewable technologies when it comes to generating heat. Already popular in central Europe, air source heat pumps are a low-maintenance, cost-effective means of heating your home. Generally fitted outside a house, they work by absorbing the free and sustainable latent energy in the air; converting outside heat in order to generate enough green, low cost energy to heat underfloor heating systems, radiators, and even provide hot water for your home.

Having a solar PV system installed on your property is definitely a step in the right direction when you are concerned about rising energy costs and when you want to invest your money to get a good return better than the banks will provide. And the fact that you're on this page right now, means you are serious about the idea and would like to familiarize yourself with the entire process. As we have installed over 1100 Solar panel systems around the country, we can assure you that no two properties domestic or commercial are the same.

Our environment is full of energy, even at sub-zero temperatures there is plenty of energy available. Heat Pumps use conventional refrigeration technology to extract the sun's energy stored in the environment and raise it to a temperature suitable for heating purposes. This principle works even in the middle of winter at temperatures as low as -25°C. A heat pump heating system consists of 3 components: the heat source, the heat pump itself and a heat distribution and storage system. Heat pumps are able to produce more energy than they consume by using the conventional refrigeration cycle to absorb heat from the environment and raise it to a suitable level for heating.
