Set in rural Lancashire with no access to mains gas, the owners of this farm house wanted to escape their dependence on oil.The installation of a Global Energy Heat Pump has reduced their annual heating and hot water bill to £912, with a saving of £1026.
The Eco Air Boiler has been installed at the rear of an open garage with the cold air being ducted out through the roof. This allowed the secluded rear garden and flower beds to remain undisturbed and offered a simple link into the existing heating system through the house wall. Several radiators in the house were upgraded to ensure all rooms were able to reach the desired temperature using a heat pump.
The owners have commented that they have been delighted with the savings.
This new build property has been completed to Sustainable Homes Code 3 level to meet the planning requirements at the time. The inclusion of an air source heat pump to provide the heating and hot water was a crucial part of that accreditation.
The house uses underfloor heating, offering some of the best running costs from an Eco Air Boiler. Once inhabited we predict that the house will have an annualised running cost of just £1,680 a potential saving of over £1,300 compared to oil.
The developer commented “Being able to offer my customers such low heating bills compared to the costs of oil is a real bonus.”
When this property’s oil boiler broke down, the owners looked at an alternative heating system which would be low maintenance and reduce running costs.
Global Energy Systems installed an 18kW Caernarfon Air Source Heat pump to provide all the property’s heating and hot water.
This Lancashire manor was originally heated by a standalone oil boiler with its hot water demands met by a separate immersion heater within the tank. With its recent renovation and a growing family, demand for heating and hot water was resulting in extremely high running costs in excess of £4,000 a year! With the growing demand for heat, varied fluctuations in oil price and mainly the overall high running costs the owner decided it was time to look at alternatives.
This Bi-Valent system allows the air source heat pump to offset the oil usage of the heating system and deem the separate immersion heater, for hot water, redundant. The air source heat pump covers all the heating and hot water demands of the property down to -3.2°C outside air temperature. Colder periods, in times of extreme weather, the original oil boiler offers additional input if it is required. This balance, ensuring ultimate optimization all year round, is fully controlled by Global Energy Systems own software.
This vehicle engineering company was looking at ways to reduce the running costs of heating their workshop.
Global Energy Systems determined we could heat this size of a workshop with three 18kW, three phase Winchester heat pumps which provide heat via 4 x fan units. The estimated annual savings against previous running costs is £6,086 and this installation is eligible for the domestic RHI incentive which will receive payments for 20 years.
The owner of this large grade II country house was recommended Global Energy Systems by a friend after discussing high running costs using purely oil.
After visiting and sizing the property to MCS standards, 3x Caernarfon Air source heat pumps were installed alongside the original oil boiler. Estimated annual savings for this installation are £7,139 including payments from the non-domestic RHI which will receive payments for the next 20 years.
Whilst renovating and adding an extension onto a converted chapel, the owners looked into renewable energy and explored the options of air source heat pumps.
Global Energy Systems sized an 18kW Caernarfon air source heat pump to provide the heating and hot water demand for the entire property. The estimated savings against oil running costs is £2,286 per year which includes the domestic renewable heat incentive which this installation was eligible for.
The homeowners of this property already had an Air Source heat pump installed by a different manufacturer; however they felt it was not suitable to their home and had ongoing issues with the controls. After being recommended Global Energy Systems by one of our existing customers, we visited the property to assess if we could improve their heating system.
We replaced their old heat pump with an 18kW Caernarfon air source heat pump, alongside the existing gas boiler. The heat is emitted via underfloor heating and full domestic hot water is supplied by the air source heat pump. Since installation the customer has been accepted onto the domestic renewable heat incentive and has been happy with the difference compared to the previous system. Estimated savings costs per year against previous running costs £2,363.
The owner of this scenic house overlooking a river had an undersized ground source heat pump installed by another company, which was not sufficiently heating the property.
Global Energy Systems visited and determined we could heat the property with an 18kW Caernarfon air source heat pump to provide full heat to under floor heating, radiators and domestic Hot Water. Predicted savings per year against previous running costs are £2,134 which includes the domestic RHI payments. Since installation in August 2018, the homeowner has seen a massive improvement against their previous ground source heat pump and has been accredited onto the renewable heat incentive for 7 years.
