Source Energy - heat pumps and renewable energy in Cornwall and the south west

Heat

Source Energy recognise that some clients welcome the peace of mind that comes with one suppler and a single point of responsibility. Source Energy provide competitive rates for underfloor heating systems to complement your heat pump. Where underfloor heating is unsuitable, we can provide the innovative Thermaskirt* heating system. Our installation teams collectively have over 80 years of experience in the plumbing and heating industry, with 10 of these being dedicated to heat pump and underfloor heating installations. We have successfully installed over 250 heat pump systems across the South-West.

Our Service

Full design service with a preliminary sales site survey.

Technical site survey.

Project management and communication with other site trades.

Full installation and pressure testing of pipework.

By fully understanding the design requirements of the system, Source Energy can ensure the heating system operates at maximum efficiency and minimum cost. Further savings can be made by ensuring that heating controls are not duplicated between the heat pump and underfloor heating.

Quality - Pipe

link to more about Pipe

The Henco aluminium core provides market leading durability and aids physical installation. Peace of mind comes as standard as the pipe is designed for high working pressure (10bar) and temperature (70C) and is supplied with a 50 year warranty from our manufacturers.

The advantages of this pipe are:

100% oxygen-tight and water vapour diffusion tight

Low coefficient of linear expansion, like metal

Entirely corrosion-resistant, also against chemicals and electrochemicals

Sound-insulation similar to entirely plastic pipe

Electro-beam crosslinked inner and outer pipe

High resistance to pressure and temperature

Smooth surface, less loss of pressure

Light as plastic piping

Flexible, easy to bend even at low temperatures retains curved shape.

One piece brass manifolds reduce the potential of leaks. The manifolds also come complete with isolation valves for ease of filling/purging system thus preventing air locks in underfloor heating pipework.

We recommend that the weather compensated control system, within the heat pump, manages the water temperate with adjustable flow meters providing simple balancing of individual circuits where required. However, Thermal actuators (230v) can befitted to circuit valves giving individual room control if required. These actuators can be installed retrospectively without draining the system so reducing the cost of any future changes in requirements.

Benefits

Why should I install underfloor heating? Financial Benefits

Lower running costs. Lower water operating temperatures minimise the running costs of your heating system

Luxury feel. Maximises the value of your building

Space. Usable room space is increased by not having to position furniture around radiators and maximising the value of your building

Helps meet new low energy legislation. Ensures your building meets Code for Sustainable Homes and Part L Building Regulations

Operational benefits

Luxury feel. By combining underfloor heating with a heat pump, room temperatures are more consistent and heat up times reduced

Space. Usable room space is increased by not having to position furniture around radiators

Wider choice of flooring. The lower temperatures provides by the heat pump into the underfloor heating is less likely to damage certain wood flooring

Environmental benefits • Reduces CO2 emmissions. Underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures so reducing energy consumption and CO2 emmisions
