All components approved and sold at Subheat are of the highest quality and manufacturing standards available.
"Environmentally friendly heating systems"
Below are some useful guidelines for the user, installer or specifier into what aspects are essential when considering the components that make up an environmentally friendly system.
- The efficiency of a heat pump is given by its co-efficient of performance (COP), which means the thermal output divided by the electricity consumed.
- High COPs are increased if high temperatures are achieved through the ground loops, temperatures vary from 5 to 12°C, and poor design of the ground loop system may have an adverse effect on the recovery temperatures.
- It is essential that buildings are designed for energy efficiency from the outset; thermal losses need to be kept to a minimum as this has a direct relationship to the amount of energy required – thermal insulation and intelligent ventilation are important.
- It is not always the most energy efficient and cost effective way to design a heat pump to supply the total design load, we live in a temperate climate and experience little very cold weather.
- Air tightness requirements for buildings means that Heat pump systems can take full advantage of heat recovery and ventilation, HRV units extract the warm air through a heat exchanger to pre-heat outside air reducing the heating load.
- The lower the UFH system is designed to operate at, will increase the energy efficiency and lower your running costs.
- Solid Screed floors are preferred for both ground and upper floors as a significant reduction in flow temperatures can be realised helping to reduce running costs.
- Radiators should be avoided unless they are designed to operate at the same low temperatures as the UFH system, dual fuel towel radiators are a solution.
"Good control is an essential component of your heating systems energy efficiency"
Good control is paramount to your system’s energy efficiency and it comes in many guises; weather compensation, system monitoring, variable speed pumps, buffer vessels or individual room controls - how these are integrated and monitored into your system play a vital role in your energy efficiency.
