Services
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps utilise underground pipes to extract renewable heat for home heating and hot water. Our systems operate efficiently year-round, reducing fuel bills and carbon emissions while qualifying for government incentives. Installation includes horizontal trenching or vertical boreholes, with expert design optimised for property size and energy needs. Systems integrate seamlessly with underfloor heating and existing radiators.
Solar PV Panels
Solar photovoltaic panels convert daylight into renewable electricity for domestic use. Our Canadian Solar installations reduce energy bills and qualify for Feed-in Tariff payments. Systems work effectively even on cloudy days, with surplus electricity exportable to the grid. We provide full installation with roof-mounted or ground-mounted options, including maintenance advice to maximise system longevity and performance.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating systems deliver efficient warmth through piped water networks integrated with renewable technologies. Our Uponor-manufactured solutions suit new builds and renovations, offering silent operation with minimal floor height increase. Wet systems work optimally with heat pumps, providing consistent temperature control while eliminating cold spots and reducing energy consumption compared to traditional radiators.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps extract warmth from ambient air to provide space heating and hot water. Our installations operate efficiently down to -15C, with lower installation costs than ground source systems. Units integrate with existing heating systems or new builds, offering RHI income potential and reduced carbon emissions. We ensure optimal placement for airflow and minimal visual impact.
Wood Pellet Boilers
Wood pellet boilers burn sustainably sourced fuel for efficient room or whole-property heating. Hargassner-manufactured systems feature automated fuel feeding, low ash residue, and compatibility with district heating networks. Our installations include single-room stoves and commercial-scale boilers, with eligibility for Renewable Heat Incentive payments when installed by MCS-certified engineers.
Questions
What renewable energy grants are available in Scotland?
We help clients access the UK Renewable Heat Incentive and Feed-in Tariffs for solar installations. Our team provides full guidance on eligibility criteria and application processes for these government schemes.
Can renewable systems work with existing heating infrastructure?
Yes, our heat pumps integrate with traditional radiators and underfloor heating. We assess your current system to recommend compatible renewable upgrades that maximise efficiency and cost savings.
How much space is required for ground source heat pump installation?
Typical domestic systems need 50-100m trench length or a 100m vertical borehole. Our engineers conduct site surveys to determine optimal layouts while minimising garden disruption during installation.
Do solar panels require planning permission?
Most domestic installations don't require planning permission, but we verify requirements for listed buildings or conservation areas. Our MCS-certified installations ensure compliance with all local authority regulations.
What maintenance do renewable systems require?
Heat pumps need annual checks, solar panels require biannual cleaning, and biomass boilers need quarterly ash removal. We offer maintenance contracts to ensure optimal system performance and warranty compliance.
How long do installations typically take?
Solar panel installations complete in 3-4 days, heat pumps take 5+ days depending on groundworks, and underfloor heating systems vary with property size. We provide exact timelines during free site surveys.
