Renewable Heating Technologies
Sustainability through renewable technology
Renewable energy is a term used to describe energy that comes from sources that are naturally replenished such as sunlight, rain and geothermal heat. This type of energy is sometimes referred to as 'Green Energy' or 'Sustainable Energy'. It's kinder to the environment than traditional fossil fuels so it'll help you to become greener than green.
Renewable energy technologies like solar panels, ground source heat pumps, and biomass heaters are effective alternatives to fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. They can help you to meet your own heating and hot water requirements and reduce your home's carbon dioxide emissions. And they will save you money. You may even be eligible for a grant to help you with the costs of installing your renewable technologies.
There are a number of products which can be used to heat your home. Simply click on the links below to find out more:
Renewable energy from the earth: Ground source heat pumps use pipes which are buried in your garden to transfer stored thermal energy from the ground into underfloor heating or low temperature radiators in your home.
Renewable energy from the air: Air source heat pumps work by absorbing heat from the air around us and transferring this thermal energy into underfloor heating or low temperature radiators in your home.
Renewable energy from organic materials: Biomass refers to wood and fuel derived from organic materials such as plants and agricultural products. Often known as 'bio energy' or 'bio fuels', biomass will provide you with heat, hot water and reduce your carbon dioxide emissions considerably.
Renewable energy from the sun: Domestic hot water is a significant energy cost in a typical household. By installing a hot water heating system that uses solar energy to work alongside your conventional heating system, you could be significantly reducing your costs and your carbon dioxide emissions.
