Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar Panels & Renewable Energy in Durham

The Government launched the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in April 2022, meaning the majority of homes in England can access £5000 of funding towards a Heat Pump System (£6000 for Ground Source). However, there is only a limited amount available. As an MCS-accredited installer, Blue Leaf Energy can also help you access government funding incentives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

As MCS-accredited installers, this also means your system will be designed, installed and commissioned to exactly what your home needs and the highest industry requirements. We also provide aftercare support and can help maintain your heat pump.

Unlike traditional gas boilers, heat pumps generally expect a 20-year lifespan with low maintenance requirements (once-a-year service). You can also expect a new heat pump system to add value to your property. In properties with good insulation, every kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity used to power the heat pump can provide around three to four kWh of ‘free’ thermal energy. This means that a heat pump’s efficiency can reach around 400%, which is significantly more than boilers that tend to run at around 92%.

Other renewable energy solutions Blue Leaf Energy provide include solar PV (Solar panels). Solar PV panels capture energy directly from the sun and convert it into electricity to power your household’s appliances (including renewable heating systems like Air Source Heat Pumps).

These panels do not need direct sunlight to work, as they can still generate electricity on a cloudy day. On top of this you can:

• Sell any unused electricity back to the grid
• Use it to heat water
• Charge an electric vehicle (EV)
• Store it in a battery for use at night

Blue Leaf Energy engineers can provide customers all these services, including EV charge points and efficient Battery Storage for captured energy.

If you are a homeowner, self-builder or business: we can assist you to plan, design and install air source heat pumps, solar panels & renewable energy in Durham. All these renewable systems and technologies can help you reduce costs and carbon emissions, whilst improving our environment.
