OPTIMA POLSKA will install 38 ground source heat pumps, which will heat households! 31.08.2017

IMG_9889OPTIMA POLSKA will install 38 ground source heat pumps in the Turosn Koscielna Commune! Exactly as many single family houses will have its own independent source of heat.

On Friday, August 25th, the company has signed a contract for the realization of the project “Modernization of individual heat or electric energy sources in Turosn Koscielna Commune”. Start of the implementation of the task will start in September 2017 and its completion will take place with the end of November 2017.

Total capacity of installed heat pumps will be 446 kW. Thanks to that, 38 households will use the heat resources contained in the land. The investment is co-financed from the Regional Operational Program of the Podlaskie Voivodeship. Homeowners were obliged to pay only 15% of the value of the investment. These are first heat pumps in the commune, which will be installed by the participation of local government and EU funds.

The selection of the heat pump system was carried out on the basis of a questionnaire completed by the building owner, technical intelligence and information and technical materials of widely available heat pump producers and own elaborations. The adopted ideological solution envisages a reduction in the costs of the residential building resulting from the generation of heat energy and its consumption for central heating and domestic hot water. Cost reduction will occur as a result of using a renewable energy source system based on a ground source heat pump. The design assumes a reduction in the use of thermal energy in the building by using the heat produced in Linde’s thermodynamic circulation, and thus the partial replacement of energy obtained from conventional sources with the energy of the land. So obtained energy will be used to prepare the heat needed for heating the building and supplying it with hot water.

As Grzegorz Jakuc emphasizes, the mayor of Turosn Koscielna, the interest in this kind of renewable energy source among the inhabitants was very large. The potential factor of this investment is unmatched and allows for huge energy and financial savings.

For the contractor – OPTIMA POLSKA – this is not the first such a big contract in Podlaskie Voivodeship, although it is also the first one when it comes to heat pumps and the largest in Poland. – The Turosn Koscielna Commune is aware of issues related to the low carbon economy and for that purpose will mount such a number of pumps, which will undoubtedly be the beginning of further actions in this direction. I would like to remind you that ground source heat pumps have the highest energy efficiency rating of A +++ and there are no heating devices on the market that exceed this parameter. In the future, each user thanks to the investment in a heat pump, will also be able to produce electricity using photovoltaic cells, among others for the needs of the pump compressor work. This is the only right way to energy independence of single family houses – points Pawel Wyszynski, Renewable Energy Sources Project Director.
