Leicester Mercury – Big Green Switch

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

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 temperatures of -20 degrees.  The systems 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 Intelligent Energy Solutions now on 01509 768565 or download the brochure by clicking on the Ecodan link.

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

Ice Energy offers an excellent product that can be used flexibly yet effectively for many different types of property.  When coming up with energy solutions for clients every day this kind of flexibility is a must for any new products Intelligent Energy Solutions supplies.

Intelligent Energy Solutions have had experience of 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 back-up and a 5 year parts and labour warranty”.

Underfloor Heating – Luxury or Necessity?

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

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

It’ very 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 system will function at this lower temperature is because most radiators are oversized by the installing plumber. 

However, the better efficiency of the heat pump can lead to massive savings when compared to both gas and oil fossil fuel boilers.

In an ideal world the heat pump will run most effectively with underfloor heating.  However, when putting together an energy solution it always makes sense to look at what is already in place so that we can put together the most cost effective solution.
