Services
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps harness stable underground temperatures to provide efficient heating and hot water. Our systems use horizontal loops or vertical boreholes to extract thermal energy, which is then converted into usable heat. This solution offers long-term savings and environmental benefits, particularly for larger properties with available land space.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps extract renewable heat from ambient air to warm homes and commercial buildings. Our installations include outdoor units connected to indoor hot water cylinders and buffer tanks. This space-efficient solution reduces carbon emissions while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, ideal for properties without ground space for boreholes.
Solar PV Installations
Our solar PV systems convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic panels connected to inverters. Designed for residential and commercial properties, these installations reduce reliance on grid electricity and lower energy bills. We integrate solar arrays with battery storage solutions to maximise self-consumption of renewable energy.
Underfloor Heating Systems
Underfloor heating systems distribute warmth through pipes embedded in floors, offering superior comfort and efficiency. We design both wet systems connected to heat pumps and retrofit solutions for existing properties. This low-temperature system enhances energy efficiency while maintaining aesthetic appeal in modern developments.
Commercial Heat Pump Projects
We deliver commercial heat pump systems for new builds and retrofit projects, including schools, care homes, and office complexes. Our solutions integrate with building management systems to optimise energy use. Recent projects demonstrate our capability to replace traditional boilers with low-carbon alternatives while maintaining operational continuity during installations.

Questions
What renewable energy solutions do you offer?
We provide ground source and air source heat pumps, solar PV, underfloor heating, battery storage, and mechanical ventilation systems for residential and commercial properties.
How do heat pumps reduce energy costs?
Heat pumps transfer ambient heat rather than generating it, achieving 300-400% efficiency. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers annual heating bills by up to 70%.
Are you accredited for heat pump installations?
Yes, we hold MCS, TrustMark, and Octopus Trusted Partner accreditations, ensuring quality standards and eligibility for government incentives.
Do you work on commercial projects?
We specialise in commercial heat pump systems, including Salix-funded public sector decarbonisation projects and large-scale residential developments.
Can heat pumps provide cooling?
Yes, most heat pump systems offer reversible operation for summer cooling, including passive cooling options using ground-source systems without compressor use.
What areas do you cover?
We operate across the South-East UK including London, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and Kent, with commercial projects nationwide through our network of partners.
