Heat Pumps

Intelligent Energy Solutions supply and install 2 types of heat pump

• Ground Source Heat Pumps
• Air Source Heat Pumps

Geothermal (Ground Source) Heat Pumps

Ground Source (or geothermal) pumps take heat from the ground and use it to heat water. This can then be used to provide a total heating solution throughout the year for both homes and commercial premises.

Just a metre beneath the ground the temperature typically varies between 7 and 12°C. This heat can be extracted and used for

• Under floor Heating
• Standard Radiators
• Domestic Hot Water
• Skirting board radiators

This heating system usually consists of a ground loop; either as a set of pipes buried in the ground or submerged in a body of water. The requirement for a ground loop often means that geothermal systems are installed in properties with large areas of land. However, Intelligent Energy Solutions can supply compact heat collectors designed to minimise space requirements. We even utilise bore holes and therefore make the benefits of a heat pump available to almost anyone.

Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air. This can be used to provide room and water heating. They can operate at approximately 3 times the efficiency of conventional heating systems and as a result benefit the environment when used.
This type of pump works all year round even when the temperature outside is below freezing. The heat generated can also be used to heat your swimming pool.

Intelligent Energy Solutions have two branches that cover the whole of England and Wales. These branches are based in Loughborough near Leicester in Leicestershire and in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. This means that we are geographically close to Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Please feel free to give us a call to discuss your requirements.
