Air & ground source heating design and installation
Heating your home, not our planet.
Read about our customers’ stories, how together we helped reduced energy costs and carbon
Snugg Systems has helped many home owners heat their homes, from old to new, small to large; take a look at our customer projects and see what they have to say.
Retro FIT Detached Home!
“We wanted a system that would give us energy security with little to no hassle in running. Our air source heat pump is fantastic. I cannot believe how easy it is to control and we never have to wait for an oil delivery ever again. The house is toasty. The best choice we could have made.”
Our clients were looking for a renewable technology that would provide them with fuel security and reduce their carbon footprint. The side benefit was that they saved money on the running costs and received the RHI payment. Part of the property is new and the other part hundreds of years old and was a traditional working windmill.
Kris and David went about renovating the older part of the building and adding insulation helping to reduce the heat requirement, so much so they could heat the whole of their home and all their domestic hot water requirements with one 14kW Ecodan heat pump.
1970s Detached Home!
“We wanted to change our smelly oil boiler for something more environmentally friendly, but reducing our carbon was the most important factor. On top of the carbon saving we now don’t have the oil tank, or oil deliveries and its cheaper to run. We’re really happy we changed over, the children can play in the garden without the fumes, and we as parents feel we have invested in their future.”
Our clients approached us seeking an air source heat pump system to heat their home and reduce their carbon footprint. Following a comprehensive survey, we assessed heat losses and identified necessary improvements for eligibility for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). With cavity walls already insulated and the attic re-insulated to meet RHI standards, energy requirements were significantly reduced. We discussed installation options, considering location, electrics, existing emitters, and space for internal installation.
After careful evaluation, we determined that placing the heat pump on the concrete slab, replacing the old oil boiler, was the most cost-efficient solution. We installed an Ecodan 8.5kW unit, with flow and returns routed to an enlarged airing cupboard housing the new unvented domestic hot water cylinder. The pressurised hot water system now delivers hot water to every tap and shower, eliminating the need for noisy power showers and freeing up loft space previously occupied by a large cold-water tank.
Barn Conversions!
“Heating a home like this was never going to be easy, but Snugg made it so easy. I never even think about the system, it runs itself”
The client wanted a system that would be flexible enough to heat an old barn and provide enough constant hot water for a large busy family. The ground floor has underfloor heating with the second floor taking advantage of both underfloor and radiators.
Due to the type of building and access restrictions, the owners wanted the external ground works to be confined to a small area and completed within a tight time frame.
We designed a borehole array consisting of 4 boreholes drilled to 50 m. This provides all the ground energy for their home, and was completed quickly and with little mess or disruption.
