Absolutely vital. Pure Green Energy offer an Insurance backed indemnified system design service. We need to work out exactly the Heat Losses for each project in order to specify the Heat Pump, Ground Loops and Heating systems. Too small a system and it will not perform - to large and costs will be excessive. Initial surveys are free of charge and budget costings are issued subject to survey. Full system designs are carried out when we are awarded the contract for the Heat Pump and Heating System installation and the cost of design work is included in our quotations.

Depends on the end results of the design process. An average sized new house would normally need between an 8Kw to 10Kw system.

Assuming an 8Kw pump is required, the list price for the unit is approximately £5,000.00 plus design, ancillaries, installation and ground collectors. A hot water cylinder may also be required.

Heat pumps perform better when heating an under floor system but can be used for a radiator system. Radiators may need to be marginally larger than normal.

Yes but the system design is all important. With lower flow temperatures than traditional fuels' systems, number and sizes of existing radiators is critical.

The Heat Pump can do this for you. Target temperatures of DHW are 45°C.

Anywhere there is space. The basic Heat Pump is about the size of a large fridge. A system can be located in the garage or in a dry out-house. The only place we do not advise installation is close to a bedroom wall due to the background hum when the Heat Pump is active.

The CoP (Co-efficient of Performance) of a Heat Pump varies from 3 to 4.2. A well designed system will give you 4+ Kw of Heat for each 1 Kw of power input. There is no gas, oil or LPG input and local carbon emissions are zero. If connected to a 'Green' electricity supply the whole system can be run 'Carbon Free'. Compared with Oil, LPG or Electric heating, a Heat Pump can save up to 75% if running costs against current and future prices. Gas costs are not far behind.

If a servicing agreement is purchased Pure Green Energy will check and service the system each year.

Heat Pumps have been used extensively in Europe and America for over thirty years. The UK has suffered in this respect due to the throw away availability of cheap Gas and Oil. However, this has changed and continues to change making consideration of the Heat Pump alternative more and more economically viable and desirable.

25 and 100 years, respectively.

Yes - and more cost effectively than traditional fossil fuels.
