looking for heat pumps
Green Living Energy Heat pumps allow you to harness the latent heat which exists in the ground, water or atmosphere, and convert it to heating and cooling processes, without the need for an oil- or gas-fired boiler.
Once installed, you can save up to 70% of your energy costs, compared with conventional systems. Output is unaffected by weather or outside temperature, the system requires no annual servicing, and, whereas the efficiency of boilers reduces over time, heat pumps efficiency remains constant.
No matter how large or small the building, we will combine the latest central heating, air conditioning and hot water technology, to design a system that meets all your needs.

swimming pool heat pumps and jacuzzis
If you have a swimming pool (or Jacuzzi) and are currently concerned about the costs of heating it, thanks to recent rises in energy costs (whether you’re using oil, gas or electricity) – rises that are likely to get worse in the years to come – then now is the time to consider the green alternative.
Heat pump technology allows you to heat the water efficiently, at a fraction of the cost of conventional heating systems – from just 1 Euro a day, according to the manufacturers.
Of course you have to invest in the pump’s installation in the first place, but with savings of around two-thirds on power consumption thereafter, pay-back has got shorter and shorter: 3 – 5 years in many instances.
Not only do these savings for swimming pool heat pumps continue for many years to come, they ensure continuity of supply too. As long as you have electricity to power the heat pump motor and fan (and you could use some of our photo-voltaic solar panels for that, to become virtually self-sufficient), then you will always have warm water in your swimming pool or jacuzzi.
The same technology can also be used, of course, for domestic or commercial heating (and cooling): see elsewhere on this site for details.
If you are on the borderline, or wish to extend your season even longer, we recommend you go to the next higher heat pump in the range.
Technical Swimming Pool Heat Pump Specifications
Green Living Energy supplies swimming pool heat pumps, spas and jacuzzis. Our heat pumps are economical and efficient to run, featuring the best quality Titanium Heat Exchangers which are suitable for both chlorine and salt water pools. All our pumps are supplied with heavy duty anti-weathering cabinets made from stainless steel or plastic.
Our flexible range is available in both single 240V and 3 phase 380V electrical with soft start for minimum power on start-up. Green Living Energy Air to Water Heat Pumps deliver up to 5 times the power they consume and are not only reliable and easy to install, but are one of the most efficient pool heating systems available on the market today.
The heat pumps range from 4.5kW up to 45kW as standard stock items, but larger units (for projects such as Olympic pools, for example) can be produced by special order.
The range even incorporates a dual function facility to allow you to cool pools that get too hot (which is unlikely to be a key selling point in the UK, we realise, but with global warming, who knows!)
Depending on the type of fuel used - Natural Gas, Oil, LPG or Electricity - to heat Swimming Pool Heat Pumps, Spa or Jacuzzi, a heat pump can save up to 70% on your energy costs.
Recommended pumps for swimming pool sizes
The size of the Heat Pump for a pool is largely dependent on a combination of pool volume, surface area, water and air temperature.
To calculate the water volume of your pool, measure the length, width and average depth, so if your pool is 8m x 4m and is 1m at shallow end, and 2m at the deep end, the average depth is 1.5m.
Therefore the calculation is 8 x 4 x 1.5 = 48.
Your pool is 48 cubic metres.
