Why choose Heat Pumps ?
Heat Pumps are a tremendous way to provide heating and hot water to any residential or commercial building utilising cost effective renewable energy.
Air Source and Ground or Geothermal heat pumps take low grade energy from the atmosphere or earth and convert it into high grade heat energy to be used in the home or workplace.
Massive reductions, up to 50%, in carbon emissions can be achieved compared to Oil or Gas fuelled heat generating appliances.
WHY NOW?
Countries such as France and Germany each install circa 100,000 units per year accounting for around 80% of all heating applications - UK & Channel Islands – 5,000
WHY?
The UK has always been fossil fuel rich - Coal mines, North Sea Gas etc.
France for example has not had the benefit of Fossil Fuels – Hence 80% of power is Nuclear generated.
WHY FOR THE FUTURE?
Fossil Fuel costs such as Oil and Gas will increase substantially
WHY?
Channel Islands – No locally controlled Oil and Gas suppliers.
Worldwide - Oil and Gas discoveries have been decreasing over the last 40 years. By 2010/2015 production is forcast to become close to reaching peak levels and demand will gradually exceed supply.
Worldwide competition for these resources will inevitably increase prices.
