Renewable Energy Design
Renewable and Low Carbon Technologies provide an opportunity to generate your own energy and produce heating and hot water from renewable sources
Why do you need Renewable Energy designs for your home? A well designed Solar PV Panel System could generate up to 80% of your home’s energy needs. A heat pump could provide 100% of your heating from renewable energy sources however it needs to be designed correctly to heat your home they way you want it to. Mantis Energy provide a variety of design services for various renewable and low carbon technologies.

Air Source Heat Pump
- Air source heat pumps are a very efficient way to heat your home and hot water, with an average efficiency of over 300% compared to less than 100% for a fossil fuel system
- Mantis Energy can work with you to deliver an efficient, effective and affordable air source heat pump system for your home. All while significantly reducing your carbon footprint
- Air source systems perform most efficiently when designed by an expert team such as Mantis Energy. From initial inception through to performance monitoring and maintenance packages, we can support you with this and everything in between
Ground Source Heat Pump
- Ground source heat pumps perform even better than air source heat pumps with an average efficiency of over 400%
- Mantis Energy have extensive experience working with and designing these systems, from radiator sizing to bore hole drilling we can assist on projects of all scales
- Being considerably more expensive to install than air source heat pumps, ensuring the system design is accurate and effective for your home is key, this is where our team can help
Underfloor Heating
- Under floor heating provides gentle radiant heat in a very effective and efficient way, whilst also freeing up valuable wall space
- Our team will make considerations for the shape of the floor area, the type of flooring material, and any floor coverings installed, as these all impact the effectiveness of an under-floor heating system
- UFH compliments a heat pump heating system due to the lower temperatures required, to provide the same amount of heat as higher temperatures needed for radiators
Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery
- Mechanical Ventilation is used to remove damp, polluted air from a building and replace it with fresh, clean air instead.
- Mantis Energy can help with all types of mechanical ventilation systems, both centralised and decentralised, from the initial conception of a project, through to the installation, commissioning, and monitoring to ensure your system is delivering at its best
- With stricter airtightness requirements for new and retrofitted properties alike, the use of mechanical ventilation is a necessity to meet building regulations, whilst significantly reducing the energy required for heating/cooling and improving the indoor air quality.
VRF Air Conditioning
- VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow, a type of energy efficient air conditioning technology which enables one outside unit to serve multiple indoor units by only providing enough refrigerant to each indoor unit depending on the cooling requirement at any given time
- As we improve the level of insulation and air tightness of our homes, it may be necessary to provide cooling to keep comfortable, particularly on sunny, warm days in the summer
- Mantis Energy have designed and installed VRF air conditioning for a variety of clients, always ensuring they are effective, efficient, and affordable to operate
Solar PV
- Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) panels generate clean renewable electricity directly from exposure to sunlight. They are a great way to complement a newly built or retrofitted property by powering appliances such as mechanical ventilation or a heat pump
- There are a wide variety of solar PV panels to choose from, with aesthetically pleasing options available that can integrate into the existing roof seamlessly
- Our team can help you to decide on the type of panels to use, how large your system should be, how much energy it will generate, and ultimately specify, design, install and commission a solar PV system for your project
Battery Storage
- A great way to capture and store more of the solar PV energy that you generate, making it available for use when the sun isn’t shining, like at night
- Don’t have solar PV? Not to worry! You might be able to benefit from Time of Use (ToU) tariffs, which enable you to charge the batteries from the grid when electricity is cheap, then use that energy when electricity is expensive
- We can help with designing, installing, and commissioning the right battery system for your home
Wind Turbines
- The UK benefits from holding over 40% of the potential wind energy available to Europe, making wind turbines an excellent way to generate renewable electricity for your home or business
- Wind turbines tend to produce more energy in the autumn and winter seasons, making them a great complimentary technology to solar PV systems, which tend to generate more in the spring and summer
- If you would like support with understanding the different wind turbines available; whether your site is suitable; and ultimately finding someone to design, install and commission a wind turbine system, Mantis Energy can help
Electric Vehicle Charging
- From 2035 in the UK, no new cars will be sold with a fossil fuel engine. This means we need to install many millions of Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers around the country to help meet this new demand
- Stay ahead of the curve by installing an EV charger for your home; in many cases, the cost is offset by the increase in property value associated with having one
- We can help you decide on the type, style and location for your EV charger, before having one properly fitted to meet all of your charging needs
