Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP's)
With the imminent end of gas and oil boilers, new methods of heating buildings are needed. Heat pumps are a feasible option for older housing stock if carefully planned. A heat pump works most efficiently when delivering water at low temperature so any heating design within an old buliding has to be designed with low temperature in mind.
As the name suggests GSHP's take heat from the ground and convert it, via a heat exchanger to warm water. This can then be used to heat your house and provide you with warm water. The most efficient way to extract heat from the ground is viaverticl bore holes. Alternatively, if you have plenty of land you could dig trenches and install horizontal ground collectors.
As an MCS accredited installer, Jupiter can design, supply and install GSHP's as well as providing drilling services.

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP's)
Again, as the name suggests ASHP's take energy from the surrounding air. ASHP's are capable of extracting sufficient energy and converting it into warm water to be used for heating and hot water.
Although not as efficient at low temperatures as GSHP's, ASHP's have the advantage of not requiring costly bore holes or disruptive trenches. As air temperatures in the UK are generally quite mild, an ASHP is a viable alternative to a gas or oil boiler as long as it is accepted that the running costs be higher during colder temperatures.

Underfloor heating (UFH)
Under floor heating is the most efficient method of delivering heat at low temperature. Installing undefloor heating in an existing or historic building is always possible, it is just dependant on affordabilty and permission. Jupiter has many years experience in installing underfloor heating in old buildings and can advise at all levels.
We use innovative materials that are sympathetic to historic building fabric. Our team of installers are experienced and skilled in the field and always willing to go the extra mile. Our in house design team ensure that all aspects of any design are covered. You can read more about our underfloor heating solutions on our main website.

Wall heating
Jupiter is one of the very few companies in the UK that have experience in installing wall heating.
Wall heating is a fantastic alternative or supplement to underfloor heating. If heat output from a heated floor is not sufficient, wall heating can provide the extra required whilst still using the same warm water and often a continuation of the underfloor heating circuit.
Yes of course you have to be very careful where you hang your pictures but that it was thermal imaging cameras are for. More on wall heating can be found on here.

Fan convectors
Where underfloor heating is not possible, modern fan convectors are an econmic alternative. Averaging at approximately £400, fan convectors can provide high output at low temperature which makes them more the, suitable for low temperature systems such as ground and air source heat pumps. Typically you would have to oversize conventional radiators or add more to a room in order to obtain sufficient output with a heat pump. A room could end up with 2 or 3 radiators rather than the original 1. Fan convectors overcome this problem.
Although they have fans built in, they are very quiet and efficient. Of course very quiet is not silence but then surely one unit is better than 3 on a wall.
