Abode Heat help the South West benefit from heat pump and heat battery technology, as an alternative to traditional fossil fuel boilers and direct electric heaters in domestic dwellings and light commercial buildings. Our design led approach helps customers understand their real heating and hot water requirement that puts them in the best position to invest in the right technical solution to meet current and future heating needs. We support customer projects in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, West Dorset, West Wiltshire and the Bristol area.
Ground source heat pumps offer significant cost savings when compared to a traditional fossil fuel boiler or direct electric heaters. This makes it easier to meet Part L Energy Efficiency building regulations for new builds. Even greater savings can be made when combining an air source heat pump with solar PV or solar thermal. They also offer large reductions in carbon emissions due to reduced consumption of fossil fuels, and are zero carbon, when used with a 100% renewable electricity tariff. A ground source heat pump can provide all the heating and hot water you need without the requirement for additional systems, even during the coldest winter months.
With new builds and renovations, space heating demand is reducing, and hot water consumption is increasing. The heating system is a key part of the design process. The right renewable heating solution will help deliver the desired design for your client, whilst meeting building regulations and planning requirements. We produce a clear specification of how much heat and hot water the building needs, by completing a CIBSE room by room heat loss analysis from the plans and recommend a renewable heating solution that balances future energy savings with project costs and practicality of installation.
We provide a range of consultancy services to you and your team that identify the most suitable renewable heating solution that reduce existing building energy and operating costs, or balance future energy savings with the proposed design and construction budget for new developments. We provide air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, heat battery storage and MVHR, together with radiators, underfloor heating or direct electric heating. We can also integrate solar PV or solar thermal to the system if required.
Heat pumps collect ambient heat from the air, ground or water. Using a small amount of electricity, they produce enough energy to provide all the heat and hot water you need. No additional heating is required if the system is sized correctly using the data collected from a heat loss calculation. Air source heat pumps work by sitting outside your home and extracting heat from the outdoor air. Air source technology upgrades this renewable heat energy and transfers it inside the home to provide hot water and heating for radiators and / or underoor heating.
