At Green Giant Services, we specialise in the installation, servicing, and repair of both air source and ground source heat pumps. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that your heating system operates efficiently and reliably year-round.
For air source heat pump installations, we begin by assessing the optimal placement for the outdoor unit, ensuring it is positioned to maximise efficiency.
We handle the complete setup, including mounting the unit, connecting it to your indoor heating system, and integrating it with your electrical infrastructure.
Our service extends to routine maintenance, where we conduct comprehensive checks such as cleaning filters, inspecting refrigerant levels, and ensuring all components are in excellent condition.
When it comes to ground source heat pumps, our process is more extensive. We evaluate your property to determine the best approach for installing the ground loops, whether through trench digging or vertical drilling.
Our installation includes laying the ground loops, setting up the indoor unit, and connecting it to your heating system. We ensure everything is done to the highest standards to provide you with a reliable and efficient heating solution.
Our maintenance services for GSHPs include regular inspections of the ground loop system, checking fluid levels, and servicing the heat pump unit to prevent any issues.
We understand that both types of heat pumps require regular servicing to maintain their efficiency and longevity. Our comprehensive service checks include inspecting electrical connections, verifying thermostat functionality, checking the heat exchangers, and ensuring there are no leaks or blockages. Should any repairs be necessary, our experienced technicians are equipped to handle everything from fixing mechanical failures to recharging refrigerants and replacing worn-out components.
By entrusting us with your heat pump needs, you can rest assured that your system will be well-maintained, ensuring optimal performance and extending its lifespan. We are committed to providing top-notch service, helping you enjoy the benefits of efficient and reliable heating.
Heat pumps use energy from underground, the groundwater or the air for DHW and central heating.
The heat pump is a thermodynamic heating system. It can be used to convert environmental energy into heat for your home. The heat, which is drawn from water, the ground, outdoor air or extract air, first passes through an evaporator from whence it is fed, via a condenser, into the heating system. Approximately five parts environmental energy and one part electrical energy are provided as heating energy. Electrical energy is required to “pump” the environmental energy, which is at a low level of -20 °C to +35 °C (air), to a temperature level suitable for heating (DHW).
There are many different kinds of heat pumps, but they all operate on the same basic principle of heat transfer. Heat transfer means that rather than burning fuel to create heat, a device moves environmental heat from one place to another. In a heat pump, this heat is transferred from a heat source (e.g. the ground, air or water) to a heat destination (e.g. your home).
Heat pumps extract the sun’s heat from air, water or the ground and, as they work primarily by moving heat, not creating it through burning fuels, they are highly efficient, and will significantly reduce your carbon emissions. Traditional systems require about one unit of electricity or gas to generate one unit of heat. Typically you only need one unit of electricity to deliver three or four units of heat with a heat pump. Heat pumps work effectively all year round.
The information above hopefully provides a clearer picture of what heat source pumps are and what they do. Green Giant Services can install, service and maintain all of these products for you and contact us if you would like more information on how we can help you get started with heat pumps or keep yours in top condition.
