A Coleraine company is raising the temperature across the UK with its new heating system which relies solely on background soil temperatures instead of costly fossil fuels.

Transen Sustainable Energy Systems Ltd, based at the Loughanhill industrial estate, is another example of a North Coast company achieving business success beyond its home base.

Bryan Law, Transen's project director advised: "The best to keep a house warm is to insulate it to a very high standard and retain the heat. We take low grade heat from the earth or groundwater and use it for heating and/or cooling purposes without any fossil fuels requirements."

With home heating oil costing about £330 for 500 litres, and prices predicted to rise in the next 18 months, householders will need to re-evaluate how in future they manage their domestic energy budgets.
In the last two months the Transen project director said: "We installed ground heating systems at the Box End Park at Milton Keynes. The system provides a space heating/cooling and domestic hot water system throughout the complex.The heat collected comes from an aquifer 20 metres below ground level."


"A system for a 400m2 private house has been installed in Lanarkshire. The heat is collected from a series of bore holes.
Our heat pumps make use of the more moderate and constant temperatures of the earth to bring internal ambient temperatures to a level of comfort more efficiently, and less expensively, than is possible through conventional heating and air conditioning technologies.
