Renewable Energy News

The Leceister Mercury have just published a feature about Intelligent Energy Solutions' heat pump installations.
The article, written by Adam Wakelin, likened the heat pumps to the energy equivilent of alchemy. The air source heat pumps extract heat from thin air!

The article talked about how the air source heat pumps were effective down to sub zero temperature of -20 degrees. The system are able to heat domestic homes and hot water and make a saving of around 30% when compared to mains gas. The savings are even greater when compared to oil.

Intelligent Energy Solutions use the Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pumps. For further information about this particular product call IES now on 01509 891256 or download the brochure by clicking on the Ecodan link.

Why do renewable energy companies recommend underfloor heating for heat pump installations?

The answer is simple. Underfloor heating runs at lower temperatures than conventional radiators. Heat pumps prefer to output lower temperatures as this makes them more efficient.

Is underfloor heating a necessity?

This depends on the heat pump used, some high quality heat pumps (used by Intelligent Energy Solutions) can output temperatures up to around 55 degrees. This is a scolding temperature and most radiators will give the required output at this temperature. The reason that the radiator will function at a lower temperature is because most radiators are oversized by the installing plumber anyway.
The efficiency of the heat pump can lead to massive savings when compared to both gas and oil fossil fuel boilers.

However, in an ideal world the heat pump will run most effectively with underfloor heating.

Intelligent Energy Solutions has agreed to a partnership with ground source heat pump, market leaders, Ice Energy.

Intelligent Energy Solutions have been using Ice Energy heat pumps for some time. Managing Director, Peter Searancke said "We shopped around before deciding to use the services of Ice Energy for our ground source heat pumps. They offer a great package including quality equipment, accessible grants, excellent technical backup and a 5 year parts and labour warranty".

In conjunction with Ice Energy, Intelligent Energy Solutions feel that they offer an excellent product that can be designed and installed to cost effectively heat many different types of property.
