Solar Hot Water

Solar hot water or solar thermal are the two terms used to describe a solar system that uses the sun’s energy to heat water. This hot water is then simply pumped to your cylinder and used in the normal way. In the UK, a typical solar thermal system can supply up to 70% of a household’s hot water requirement.

A solar panel mounted on the roof concentrates the sun’s energy throughout the day and efficiently uses that energy to heat water which is pumped into your cylinder. In the brighter summer months, enough heat can be generated to supply the vast majority of the hot water your family will need. In the darker winter months, although the system is still able to generate some heat, it really functions as a way of pre-heating the water in your cylinder so that you don’t have to use quite as much gas or electricity to bring that water up to the full temperature you normally operate at. 

Our surveyors can fully assess your needs and carry out a comprehensive survey to ensure that the appropriate system is fitted. The solar hot water system will be efficiently integrated with any auxiliary water heating sources to gain the greatest benefit.

The Benefits

  • Hot water throughout the year. The system works all year round, though you’ll need to heat the water further with a boiler or immersion heater during the winter months.
  • Cut your bills. Sunlight is free, so once you’ve paid for the initial installation your hot waters costs will be reduced.
  • Cut your carbon footprint. Solar hot water is a renewable, green heating system and can reduce your carbon dioxide emissions.

What our clients say

Very pleased to find a company that can actually maintain an air source heat pump and underfloor heating system – so many can’t. Provided a quote before we booked…..turned up as arranged and provided a highly professional service. We’ll use again next year for annual service!

Steve M.

Nothing but absolute praise. The owner came the day we phoned and the quotation was with us a couple of hours after he left. Very impressed with his knowledge and the way he did the survey. Shane, the engineer arrived when they said he would. He was a pleasure to have around- courteous, clean, tidy worker, got on with the job and kept us informed, including explaining why he considered some extras should be done to correct some faults with the old system whilst installing a new boiler and flushing through the heating system. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Outstanding service from Heat Norfolk. I called at 9am on a Monday morning to report a boiler failure. The telephone staff organised for an engineer to call that day and were very helpful in letting me know exactly when to expect the engineer. Their engineer was on site by 12.30 and had identified and fixed the problem by 1.15pm. Great service from a reliable local company.

Very happy with our new boiler installation from Heat Norfolk. Very professional service throughout. All our enquiries were dealt with efficiently and effectively. Probably not the cheapest option but as they say ‘you pay for what you get’. I have every confidence our work was carried out to the highest standard and that peace of mind is priceless for an essential part of a functioning home. The engineer, Terry, was polite, extremely knowledgeable and carried out the work in tidy manor. No hesitation in recommending this company and will use again.

All we can say is ‘blooming marvellous’ – the whole process from the survey by Paul, and installation by Shane and Morgan was excellent. We were kept informed at every step of the way and when Shane encountered some issues with pipe work etc he used his skills to remedy the problems. They worked to the time plan and every day they tidied and ‘hoovered’ up – We thoroughly recommend Heat Norfolk and if you are lucky you will get Shane and Morgan! Our house has never been so warm – thank you all at Heat Norfolk!
