Renewable Heating & Solar Solutions for Sustainable Homes
Eco Homes Now was founded to address the growing demand for sustainable living solutions through innovative renewable energy technologies. With a focus on air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, and solar energy systems, we provide tailored installations that reduce carbon footprints and energy costs. Our team combines technical expertise with a commitment to environmental stewardship, ensuring clients receive efficient, future-proof heating and energy solutions. We prioritise customer education, guiding homeowners through the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme to maximise financial benefits. Backed by partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers like Mitsubishi, we deliver systems with warranties up to seven years and lifespans exceeding two decades.Our approach balances technical precision with practical affordability, making renewable energy accessible to households across the UK. By staying ahead of regulatory changes such as the Future Homes Standard 2025, we position clients to meet evolving sustainability requirements. Through transparent consultations and low-maintenance installations, we empower communities to transition toward self-sufficient, eco-friendly living while maintaining comfort and reliability.

Services
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps extract ambient heat from the air to provide home heating and hot water. These systems convert 1kW of electricity into 3.5kW of heat energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They integrate with radiators or underfloor heating, offering 40-50% bill savings while qualifying for Renewable Heat Incentive payments.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps utilise underground thermal energy through buried pipe loops. With 50-70% greater efficiency than gas boilers, these systems deliver consistent heating at lower temperatures. They qualify for 20.89p/kWh RHI tariffs, making them ideal for rural properties with available land for horizontal or vertical loop installations.
Solar Photovoltaic Panels
Solar photovoltaic panels convert sunlight directly into electricity for household use. These systems reduce grid dependency while generating surplus energy that can be stored or sold back. Combined with heat pumps, they create fully integrated renewable energy solutions for modern, eco-conscious homes.
Solar Assisted Heat Pumps
Solar assisted heat pumps combine thermodynamic solar panels with heat pump technology. This hybrid system captures solar heat while maintaining efficiency in low-light conditions. It provides year-round hot water and space heating with reduced electricity consumption compared to conventional systems.
Renewable Heat Incentive
The Renewable Heat Incentive provides quarterly payments for seven years based on renewable heat generation. We guide clients through eligibility criteria and application processes for air source, ground source, and solar-assisted systems, ensuring maximum financial returns from government-backed sustainability schemes.
Questions
What renewable heating options qualify for the Renewable Heat Incentive?
Air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, and solar-assisted heat pumps all qualify for RHI payments at current rates of 10.71-20.89p per kWh generated.
How much can I save with a ground source heat pump?
GSHP systems offer 50-70% greater efficiency than gas boilers, with typical annual savings of £2,300-£3,000 through combined energy reduction and RHI payments for standard four-bedroom homes.
Do air source heat pumps work in cold weather?
Yes, our Mitsubishi Ecodan systems operate efficiently at temperatures as low as -15°C, maintaining 3.5:1 energy efficiency ratios even in extreme UK winter conditions.
What space requirements exist for ground source installations?
Horizontal ground loops require 1-2m deep trenches covering 200-400m² per 10kW system. Vertical boreholes (50-150m depth) offer space-saving alternatives for urban locations with planning permission.
How long do solar photovoltaic panels last?
Our solar PV systems typically operate for 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Panels maintain 80% efficiency after 25 years, providing reliable renewable electricity generation throughout their lifespan.
What warranties apply to heat pump installations?
Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pumps include standard 3-year warranties extendable to 7 years. Systems have operational lifespans of 20-25 years with annual maintenance checks recommended for optimal performance.
