The UK’s leading installer of energy saving solutions welcomes Government renewable heat announcement for homeowners.

Nu-Heat was delighted to achieve a win at the inaugural Exeter Business Awards at Sandy Park, home to the Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club.

Nu-Heat is delighted to introduce the Yutaki-M single fan air source heat pump offering a flexible, space-saving solution with an impressive Coefficient of Performance.

In general, the response to the recent announcement about the Renewable Heat Incentive has been positive. The fact that the Government has ratified the scheme is a major boost to the renewables sector.

Following the announcement of the £860 million Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) last week, businesses, farmers and the public sector could effectively benefit from free installation of biomass heating systems and free fuel for 20 years.

RHI announcement will help thousands of homeowners convert to using renewable technologies.

As the Government gets firmly behind renewable energy with the confirmation of the Renewable Heat Incentive, it’s a good time to look at the different technologies available.

The perfect underfloor system would have no floor covering whatsoever! Polished screed, for example, is an ideal finish and although unusual, is a very attractive option.

A report in the latter part of 2010 from BSRIA questioned the viability of heat pumps working with a combination of underfloor heating (UFH) and radiators.

Nu-Heat is showcasing its range of energy efficient products - including a number of new additions - at Ecobuild’s Excel debut in March.

Renewable energy encompasses any technology that takes its energy from the natural resources of the sun, wind, tides and ground. ‘Renewable’ simply means that this energy, unlike fossil fuels, is self-replenishing.

Nu-Heat has extended its popular free training and support package for installers who purchase a Hitachi Yutaki air source heat pump until the end of March 2011.

As one of the UK’s leading underfloor heating suppliers, Nu-Heat has been delighted with results from installations using Knauf Brio precision engineered gypsum fibreboard instead of chipboard.

GSHPs transfer energy from outside to inside and useit to provide heating and domestic hot water. In contrast to conventional heating systems, a GSHP system supplies more energy than it draws from primary sources.

Adrian Troop, Sales & Marketing Director for Nu-Heat Underfloor & Renewables believes that the conclusions of the Energy Saving Trust’s (EST) heat pump field trials serve to underline Nu-Heat’s existing procedures and policies.

Wood Pellet Stoves look great, give off loads of heat and are deemed to be one of the most eco friendly solutions for domestic heating available. Using biomass wood pellet fuels offer a reliable long term renewable heating system.

Nu-Heat Underfloor & Renewables provides energy efficient solutions that can be practically applied to meet the increasing levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes and offer future proofed properties to the buyer.

Plumb Center has responded to the Chancellor’s Comprehensive Spending Review as a welcome and positive step in terms of the green agenda with the commitment to introduce the Renewable Heat Incentive(RHI) from 2011-12 and the Green Deal from 2013.

The Spending Review has confirmed that the RHI will be going ahead from June 2011, with £860 million funding allocated from 2011 to 2015.

Nu-Heat’s Training Centre is now offering NICEIC’s solar photovoltaic (PV) course, giving experienced electricians the necessary skills for the basic design, installation, commissioning and servicing of both on and off grid PV systems.

When a property is undergoing refurbishment, it’s an ideal time to install underfloor heating (UFH) as the system offers excellent opportunities in terms of improved energy efficiency, greater design freedom and ease of installation.

‘When installing an underfloor heating (UFH) system either in new-build or refurbishment, utilizing the skills of a supply and design company will lead to the most cost-effective and efficient system,’ says Gary Davies

We talk to some of the people who have undertaken courses at Nu-Heat’s Training Centre over the last few months to find out the reasons behind their decision to train, and their response to the courses.

Some people love their houses too much to move, even if they need a bit more room. The answer of course is an extension.

Nu-Heat’s award winning training centre recently hosted a heat pump course for six heating engineers from Bristol City Council. Dean Haines, the Council’s Heating Advisor for New Technology explains why they were on the course.

There are countless industry training courses available but how are these courses devised and monitored? We look behind the scenes at the creation of Nu-Heat’s latest course in photovoltaic.

Nu-Heat’s Sales & Marketing Director Adrian Troop looks at two ways of approaching the growing renewables market.
