Making use of the thermal properties of the earth, this technology is used to heat radiators, underfloor central heating systems and hot water tanks in all sorts of properties. Installing a heat pump means that homes need to rely on much less energy from traditional sources, such as electricity or gas. Read More»
A large quantity of solid waste is usually generated when buildings made of traditional clay brick are brought down.
