Understanding Green Heating Systems
While traditional heating pumps use main gas boilers powered by fossil fuels, they contribute to greenhouse gases and air pollution. The heating mechanism is a key force behind global warming. It is high time that we explore alternative resources for heating and cooling our indoors that are also safe for the environment.�

A big hope is renewable energy. Not only do they reduce air pollution, but they also reduce grid dependence and electricity bills to a great extent. Green heat pumps typically use some sort of renewable energy. We primarily work with ground-source, air-source, solar and biomass energy. These alterations make a big difference in your sustainability quotient and your carbon footprint.�

Heat pumps work through a heating cycle, much like air conditioner’s cooling cycles. A refrigerant is used. It is a combination of chemicals that circulate through a closed-loop process. �

Absorbing & Evaporating: It starts with the refrigerant absorbing the low-pressure gas and evaporating.
Compression:The compressor in the pump creates pressure, causing the low-pressure gas to rise in temperature.
Condense:The high-pressure head is now released from the high-pressure gas and is condensed into a liquid form. This liquid, when passed through the expansion valve, is ready to absorb more heat.�
Expansion:The cycle repeats every time the refrigerant passes through an expansion valve. Thus, you get conditioned heating.�

While there is a global shift towards green technology, there are limited options or alternative heating sources. We at Greener Alternative work with the following types of heat pumps.�

Ground Source Heat Pumps
The mechanism uses the heat from the ground. Ground loops, that look like pipelines. The loops are bored deep in the earth to extract heat from it. The heat is transferred to a radiator network, insulation boards or water heaters. The number of ground loops is customised according to your utility needs and type of property.�

Air Source Heat Pumps
This system uses the evaporation-compression-refrigeration process to source all the heat from the air.�

Integrated Heating Systems
We recommend integrated systems because they have made more sense for realistic usability in recent years. The country has not fully transitioned to renewable energy. Since all renewable energy is sourced directly from natural elements, it could get unpredictable. The beauty of these mechanisms is that they can combine both ground or air source pumps with conventional systems that are connected to the gas grid.�

Delivering Sustainable Solutions for Rural Heating

With our decades of experience in all aspects of renewable heating, we understand the importance of rural development and how it impacts the future development of urban areas.�

Moreover, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) for biomass boilers is only available in rural locations without gas-grid connections. Therefore, from installations in domestic and commercial projects to servicing and maintaining appliances, we extend our dedicated support to British domestic and commercial properties in rural areas outside of London and Sussex.�
