Bespoke schemes


ARC Installations South West provides air source heat pumps, solar panels and rainwater harvesting equipment for residential and commercial use across the region. The firm’s clients include


private households, developers, contractors and housing associations.


Each project starts with a free of charge site survey to help a client decide on the best solution. As a result, a bespoke scheme is created for every customer. Whatever the weather, air source heat pumps are an excellent source of natural energy, working like a reverse refrigerator to convert the air outside into warm water to heat properties. Clients may be entitled to funding towards the installation costs if they are replacing an existing boiler.


Meanwhile, the


Government-funded Feed-in Tariffs make solar photovoltaic (PV) panels an attractive option. Guaranteed for the next 25 years, customers will be paid a generous tariff for the electricity they generate. In addition, a solar thermal system could provide up to 50-70 per cent of domestic hot water requirements, with the remainder being supplied by a more traditional boiler or an energy efficient source such as a heat pump.


Solar thermal systems are due to qualify for the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive. For more information, contact ARC Installations South West at Tremenhere Farm, St Keverne, Nr Helston, Cornwall, TR12 6RD. Tel: 01326 551328. Email: info@arc-sw.co.uk. Web: www.arc-sw.co.uk.
