The first project at Hale Barns will see GECCO2 install a twin HP system; 8kW and 12kW, a configuration which will avoid the requirement for installing a three-phase electrical supply. Additionally the installation includes fan coli units for free cooling and buffer vessels and five 300-metre loops to make up the horizontal ground array.
The second project, at Styal, Cheshire, is a single 17kW installation with a heating buffer vessel and a DHW cylinder within a new renovated electrical installation depot, providing the three-phase electrical supply. Four-off 320-metre loops make up the horizontal ground array.
Speaking about the project wins, Matt Love, MD GECCO2 said: “We are very optimistic for 2012, as these two project wins come on the back of a real uplift in domestic enquiries, particularly form the North West of England.
Rapidly increasing fuel prices and the upcoming Renewable Heating Incentive for domestic ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems, I believe, is motivating people to consider installs now, rather than later, to ensure the return on any investment is maximised through the remaining winter months. That said, the ability to link these GSHP systems up to solar thermal systems brings summer saving too through cheaper domestic hot water.”
