Renewable Energy
Microgeneration Certification
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) operates to assure the quality of renewable energy products and installers. It is an internationally recognised Quality Assurance scheme which demonstrates that a company is committed to meeting rigorous standards.
Holton Plumbing Services Ltd has MCS accreditation for Solar Thermal and Heat Pumps
We've always handled a wide range of heating technologies. That range now includes the latest technologies in renewable energy. We've invested in accreditation under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and can offer the following systems:
- solar thermal systems
- air source heat pumps
- ground source heat pumps
- warm air recovery systems
Renewable energy is a fast growing area which has attracted a lot of companies having very little track record in the market. Holton Plumbing Services has been installing renewable energy systems for 6 years and is known and trusted for providing services to customers.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide a new and clean way of heating buildings in the UK. They make use of renewable energy stored in the ground or in the ambient air, providing one of the most energy-efficient ways of heating buildings. The heat pumps are suitable for a wide variety of building types and are particularly appropriate for low environmental impact projects.
The two photos on the right show an installation we made at a new build development of flats in Poole. Each flat has an air source heat pump mounted on
the outside wall. Heat is piped to an internal water tank installed in an airing cupboard in the flat, virtually the same size as an electrically
heated hot water tank.
In addition to providing energy at very low cost and a much reduced carbon footprint, the system is very quiet in operation.
Solar Thermal
Our solar thermal systems are in-roof or on-roof mounted collectors in which a heat-transfer fluid is heated by the sun. The fluid is used to raise the temperature of the water that is stored in either a separate hot water cylinder or a twin coil hot water cylinder within the building. The glycol fluid gives beneficial properties such as a much lower freezing temperature and higher boiling temperature than pure water. This means that the system can be used all year round and will always contribute to the hot water requirements of the building.
Onroof units (bottom left) are easily retrofitted to an existing roof with minimal disturbance. Inroof units (bottom right) can be fitted to a new build or replacement roof to give a very low profile installation which looks virtually indistinguishable from a skylight window.
