Underfloor Heating

We install underfloor heating pipework in all our new properties, providing individual control to every room. Our engineer takes great pride in his pipework tidiness, in spite of the fact it is hidden.

Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps are the most efficient way of heating houses which are not on a mains gas network. They are a very effective and cost efficient way to heat new houses, particularly when coupled with high levels of insulation. Low temperature units are ideally suited to underfloor heating and are the most efficient system. High temperature units can be installed to work with radiators in conventional houses.

We have been using a high temperature heat pump on our own house since 2013.

Solar

We like to use the integrated solar PV panels, which provides an unobtrusive and sleek finish. The PV panels can be used to offset the power required by the heat pump.

In addition we also often use solar thermal panels to heat hot water.

Car Charging

We install car chargers in all our new homes, and are beginning to provide three phase power to allow more powerful car chargers to be installed.

We are now exploring the ability to integrate car charging with the solar system to allow excess electricity to be charged directly to the car.
