Mitsibushi Electric

When it comes to renewable energy, Grant Plumbing Services offer a range of air source and hybrid heating systems.

We supply, install, service and commission Grant UK and Mitsubishi Air Source Systems.  Both these companies manufacture outstanding renewable energy systems. 

Heat pumps – usually air source or ground source – are modern, low carbon heating systems that are much more energy efficient than boilers and traditional electric heating. 21% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from our homes, with three quarters coming from our heating and hot water. This means that heat pumps will continue to play a crucial role in meeting net zero carbon targets and addressing the climate emergency.

Air Source Heating – Design – Supply – Install – Commission – Maintain & Service

Air source heating systems, also referred to as air-to-water heat pumps, represent a form of renewable energy technology utilised for heating and providing hot water in residential properties across the United Kingdom.

These innovative systems function by harnessing heat from the external air and utilising it to warm water, which is subsequently distributed throughout the building’s heating infrastructure.

The process of installing an air source heating system typically encompasses the following sequential stages:

Evaluating the heating and hot water requirements of the premises:

Evaluating the heating and hot water requirements of the premises:

Grant Plumbing Services will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate size and type of system necessary for the building. Furthermore, they will evaluate the current condition of the existing heating setup.

Selecting an optimal system location:

Selecting an optimal system location:

The air source heat pump should be strategically positioned in a manner that facilitates easy accessibility for maintenance and repair purposes, while also ensuring adequate ventilation.

Implementing the heat pump installation:

Implementing the heat pump installation:

This phase entails establishing the connection between the heat pump and the pre-existing heating system, such as radiators or underfloor heating, and integrating it with the electrical power supply.

Installing the hot water cylinder:

Installing the hot water cylinder:

The hot water cylinder is linked to the heat pump, serving as a storage unit for the heated water.

Conducting comprehensive system testing and commissioning:

Conducting comprehensive system testing and commissioning:

Following the installation, meticulous testing procedures are conducted to verify the proper functionality of the system and to ensure that all safety features are operating as intended.

Providing a warranty and implementing a maintenance schedule:

Providing a warranty and implementing a maintenance schedule:

Grant Plumbing Services offers a warranty for the air source heating system and establishes a regular maintenance schedule to ensure its continued efficient and safe operation.

It should be noted that the installation of an air source heating system generally necessitates a larger initial investment when compared to conventional heating systems.

Nevertheless, in the long run, this expenditure is often offset by the system’s heightened efficiency and reduced operational costs. Additionally, it is important to mention that the air source heating system qualifies for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which is a government initiative that provides financial support for the adoption of renewable heating solutions.

Hybrid Heating Systems

We supply, install, service and commission Air Source & Oil Combined systems.

Hybrid Heating Systems – Design – Supply – Install – Commission – Maintain & Service

Hybrid heating systems represent a fusion of multiple heating technologies, incorporating elements such as a boiler and an air source heat pump. These systems leverage the most suitable heating source according to prevailing weather conditions and the specific heat requirements of the structure, thus delivering an efficient and cost-effective approach to heating.

The installation process for a hybrid heating system typically encompasses the following stages:

Evaluation of heating and hot water needs:

Evaluation of heating and hot water needs:

Grant Plumbing Services undertakes an assessment to determine the appropriate size and type of system required for the building, while also evaluating the existing heating system’s current state.

Selection of system locations:

Selection of system locations:

The various components comprising the hybrid heating system, including boilers, heat pumps, and hot water cylinders, should be positioned in easily accessible areas for maintenance and repair purposes, ensuring adequate ventilation.

System installation:

System installation:

This involves interconnecting the system’s diverse components with the existing heating system and connecting them to their respective power sources.

Implementation of a control system:

Implementation of a control system:

A control system is implemented to oversee the different elements of the hybrid heating system, enabling the selection of the most suitable heating source based on prevailing weather conditions and the building’s heat demands.

System testing and commissioning:

System testing and commissioning:

Once the system is installed, thorough testing is conducted to ensure optimal functionality and the correct operation of all safety features.

Provision of warranty and maintenance schedule:

Provision of warranty and maintenance schedule:

Grant Plumbing Services offers a warranty for the system, along with a regular maintenance schedule to ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the system.

Hybrid heating systems offer efficiency, flexibility, and the potential for cost savings compared to conventional heating systems.

Moreover, they qualify for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, which constitutes government-backed financial support for renewable heating solutions.
