Water heaters
Indirect Fired Water Heaters: Indirect water heaters are storage tanks for water which is heated in another location. The water can be heated by a boiler system or solar system. These indirect water heaters can easily be incorporated with a gas or wood boiler and are a standard feature of our solar domestic hot water systems.
Conventional Water Heaters: We design and install small-scale heating and domestic hot water systems incorporating conventional water heaters. In certain conditions, by combining the radiant heating and domestic hot water into one system, a considerable amount of money could be saved compared with two separate systems for heating and hot water.
Radiant Heating
As installers of radiant heating systems we offer a complete range of hydronic heating components including:
-PEX tubing
-Circulating pumps from Grundfos, taco
-Custom manifolds
-Valves
-Fittings
-Boilers
-Panel radiators from DiaNorm, and others
We also offer customized tubing layout diagrams based on the floor plans of your new home or remodeling project.

generators
In an off-grid context, backup generators make sense for extended sun-free days, occasional large loads for equipment, or entertaining guests. By designing a smaller system to meet your normal day-to-day needs and including backup power for occasional use, you can save significantly on your system costs. Backup generators are also common in grid connected homes for customers that wish to have energy security of automatic backup generations in the event of power failure.
