Heat Pumps
Improving energy efficiency reduces greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change. By using energy efficiently and making wise consumer choices you can reduce your individual GHG emissions by about one tonne. Like most of us, you probably already take steps to conserve resources and protect the environment. Now the One-Tonne Challenge calls on you to make a bigger commitment.
In Floor Heating
One of the big advantages of radiant floor heating systems is that they may be connected to an Air Source or Geothermal heat pump. Radiant systems require relatively low temperatures to work, which makes the use of environmentally friendly sources of energy easier.
As energy costs continue to escalate, the ability to reduce fuel consumption will play an increasingly bigger role in how heating systems are selected. Hydronic floor heating can keep energy cost down while delivering exceptional comfort. It is truly the bench mark system that all others will be measured against.
Water consumptions: Low Flow toilets and faucets
Water is a precious resource as a large amount of energy is required to collect, purify and deliver water to households up and down the country. This energy requirement makes us further dependent on fossil fuels. The main cause of water waste in the home is old and wasteful sanitary-ware such as toilets, baths and taps. There are a number of solutions available to help households save water.
Water filtration System
Whole House Filtration Systems (point of entry) with either a duplex or triplex system which removes sediment from water.
Reverse osmosis system (point of use) removes dissolved solids including lead, antimony, arsenic and others. These system’s provide the ultimate in quality drinking water.
We also can supply and install Ion filters, Ultra violet light sterilization packages and water conditioners to name a few to handle most bacteria and pathogen problems found in water.
Geothermal
Everyday, the earth absorbs over half of the sun's energy. Geothermal (also known as geoexchange or earth energy) systems rely primarily on this stored solar energy to heat or cool a building and provide domestic hot water. Geoexchange systems use a loop field and a ground source heatpump to concentrate heat from the earth and transfer it into a building in winter, or to transfer heat from a building into the earth in summer, where it is stored for extraction later. Geoexchange uses the same heat pump system for both heating and cooling. A common example of a heat pump is a refrigerator, which concentrates and extracts heat from the interior, and rejects it into the surrounding space.
By transfering thermal energy rather than creating it through combustion or electrical resistance, geoexhange systems achieve very high efficiencies. For each unit of electrical energy consumed by a heat pump, three to four units of heat energy are moved from the eath to your building.
The two basic types of geoexhange systems are open loop and closed loop. Closed loop systems are preferred for their reliability and low maintenance.
Ground source heat pumps use a network of fluid filled pipes to transfer heat to and from the earth. The pipes can be inserted into vertical boreholes, buried in horizontal trenches, or submerged in the ocean, lakes, or rivers.
What is Hybrid Heat? And is it right for my home.
With today's rising uncertainty surrounding utility costs, homeowners nationwide are becoming more and more interested in finding the best, most economical solution for indoor heating and cooling.
Torry and Sons specializes in creating customized home comfort systems tailored to your needs with a broad selection of residential heating and cooling products. We help you choose the best system for your home, including a HYBRID HEAT™ system designed to deliver maximum comfort and economy.
HYBRID HEAT dual fuel systems deliver exceptional performance by using a heating source that provides its most energy-efficient comfort during moderate heating conditions. As the temperature drops outside, the system automatically switches to your second heating source when that becomes the most economical way to keep your family comfortable.
