UK local plumbers, now joining the 'green revolution'

Old traditional solar versus the NEW 'direct' solar evacuated tubes.

Old traditional solar (OS) uses chemical antifreeze, but direct solar heats the water directly, which is simpler and more efficient.
OS large percentage of gained heat is lost is through heat exchangers. 'Direct' thermal solar does not use heat exchangers, we 'efficiently' heat the water directly
OS requires new hot water cylinders, direct solar usually don't so they are faster to fit, and more environmentally friendly.
OS needs safety valves, direct solar has an open vent which is inherently simpler and safer.
OS solar sells its products, by driving to your home, emitting CO2 in the process, direct solar sells via it 'cutting edge' eco friendly survey.
OS are imported systems from hotter climates requiring multiplepanels to make up the difference, but direct solar is specially designed for the UK Climate.
OS is a more complicated system to install, but direct solar can offer a DIY Kit, because of its simplicity.

The Heat my Home story

Heat my Home is targeted at homeowners who want to save money on energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint. It also provides an invaluable source of new business for local solar installers, around the UK.

Heat my Home prides itself on our innovative 'eco-friendly home suitability surveys'.

We can satisfactorily survey a home using your information and satellite technology, through our pioneering eco-friendly surveys...SMART EH!

Heat my Home see's nearly 3.5 million visitors and rising a year. We are convinced this new venture will also become one of the most accessed websites in the UK as he explained;

"I was investigating installing solar panels in general for my family home and realised that there was no comprehensive point of reference where I could find the information and contacts I needed. With so much focus on global warming it was obvious that there was a huge gap in the market for this kind of website. We are very excited about how the website will serve both people and businesses and help to accelerate the use of renewable technology within the UK."

The website pulls a wealth of solar information into one central online location and gives its visitors a practical introduction to the latest solar technologies, local and national directories of solar installers and suppliers, advice on technology choices and installation, links to community organisations, lobbyists and government contacts and information on sources of funding.

In addition the Heat my Home solar installers website holds a comprehensive educational resources for schools and details of universities offering specialist courses.

Heat my Home added; "National trends show that renewable energy isn't a choice for businesses to buy into any more but a necessity in order to maintain the sustainability of the planet. This website provides a huge range of resources and has one of the only fully comprehensive directories of companies relating to solar energy in the UK."

The Heat my Home has been labelled an authority in the subject of solar panels and solar installers, looking to showcasing the latest solar technology for the UK climate and provides an invaluable source of information to help anyone combat the potentially devastating effects of global warming through the use of renewable energy.

Paul added, we are now looking to take Heat my Home, to the next level, and is looking for successful entrepreneurs, to make the brand a real household name in solar, with the forth coming green and renewable energy markets opening up, the doors are well and truley being flung open for this potential market.

The solar technology, especially the hot water thermal type has evolved from the complicated ungreen technology of old, and is now easy and uncomplicated to install, meaning tradesmen across the country are now joining the solar revolution, and becoming solar installers, within there own established businesses.

Wind turbines vs 'direct' solar

Most urba area's do not get enough wind speeds to operate turbines.
Turbines generate 40Db of sound, equivalent to a noisy office environment outside your bedroom window.
Turbines have been reported to have vibration problems.
Turbines require tolerant neighbours.
Turbines won't get planning permission granted if you have neighbours or urban areas.
Turbines supply approx 750 KWh per year, ours can provide 1100 KWh.
Turbine moving parts are prone to breaking down.
1KW (650KWh per year) Turbines will not produce 30% of most households energy needs as claimed.

"The likely output of a micro-wind turbine on a pitched roof house in a large city such as Manchester would be less than 150kWh a year; 2% of the energy consumption of an average house"
