West Wales Heating have been specialising in the renewable energy heating sector since 2007.
Every installation we undertake is unique and we pride ourselves on treating your property as we would our own which means every installation is treated to our best design and installation planning with your requirements at the heart of everything we do.
Hot water from sunlight.
Circulating liquid in tubes or panels on the roof catches the heat even from diffuse daylight and heats up rapidly, and runs through a coil in your cylinder, heating the water just like a boiler does.
The cylinder is in fact a special design with two coils so that you can use your existing boiler when you need to.
You could have an immersion heater for backup, as well as (or instead of) the boiler.
Even cloudy days provide a fair bit of heat and most households can expect to have 50-70% of their annual hot water provided by solar.
Biomass covers several different technologies.
The main two are wood gasification systems, which are systems that use traditional logs that have been seasoned, and pellet boilers and pellet installations.
Pellet is still pure wood but it is processed.
To understand the word processed, if you imagine a pencil that has been chopped up into a number of equal lengths, each piece of pencil would be the size of a pellet.
There are no glues or additives used in the process.
They take virgin wood, such as wood that has come straight out of woodland or often factories that are producing wood materials such as joinery's.
A ground source system is where a heat pump inside the property and heat is extracted, generally from the ground.
It can also be generated from lakes, ponds and rivers but the vast majority is from the ground.
The heat is generated mostly from the ground and there are two ways of doing that.
One is from a bore hole, which is a hole that is drilled by a machine that generally goes down 80-100 metres.
The machine that is used bores down and a factory made pipe with a u-bend in it is then put down.
An air source heat pump extracts the heat from the air outside your house.
It is like an air conditioned unit sized box that is installed alongside your house that has a fan on it.
It then draws the air through the heat exchanger to the mechanics inside the heat pump.
Generally with a heat pump, this is a buffer cylinder.
A buffer cylinder is like a battery for heat and the air source heat pump will supply heat to that buffer and the buffer is then your heating and hot water demand for when you need it.
