If a heat pump is suitable for your building, the type of heat collection system then needs to be assessed. There are numerous options:

Air Source

Extracting heat from the air around your building

Ground Source – closed loop systems

“Slinkys” – if you have substanital grounds / garden, pipes can be buried under the soil

Boreholes – require a very small foot print to deliver higher thermal efficiencies as they benefit from stable temperatures at depth

Compact collectors – develped to reduce the foot print required and make heat pumps avalaible to those with limited space. Use your garden to heat your home and provide you with fresh vegetables

Ground source – open loop systems

This option passes fluid through the ground directly and is typically utilised for larger installations.

Water sources – closed or open loop systems

If you live close to a body of water, such as a lake or river, it may be possible to utilise this as a heat source. You would be surprised what can be used as a heat source.

In order to advise customers accurately about the most cost effective mechanism for reducing their energy consumption, we must first ascertain how much energy the property requires, what form of energy is utilised (heat, cooling, electricity, light, mechanical work, etc) and how and when that energy utilised. Then we’ll deliver you the best solution for you.

Lucion will be with you every step of the way.

What is a heat pump? Here are a couple of definitions.

A device, as used in a refrigerator, for extracting heat from a source and delivering it elsewhere at a much higher temperature.

A device that warms or cools a building by transferring heat from a relatively low-temperature reservoir to one at a higher temperature.

How do heat pumps work?

Heat pumps use electricity to extract heat from a heat source (ground, air, water body) and deliver it to your building. The reason why heat pumps harness significantly more energy than they use, is down to some clever engineering, similar to that used in refrigerators and freezers.
