An air-source heat pump is an efficient and eco-friendly way of heating your home without the need for a traditional gas or electric heating system. If you want to reduce your current heating bills while doing your bit for the environment, then read on to find out how you can achieve this with an air source heat pump.
Another project successfully powered up! 👏
Alan Watters Heating & Plumbing Ltd have recently commissioned the Viessmann 8 kW Vitocal Heat Pump system for P & S Earley Construction in Lackagh.
This installation includes:
✅ 8 kW Viessmann Heat Pump – efficient, quiet, and future-proof with natural refrigerant R290
✅ 200 L Buffer Tank – ensuring smooth system operation and consistent performance
✅ Pressurised Domestic System – delivering stable hot water pressure throughout the home
✅ Underfloor Heating – wet floors poured and ready for tiling once dried
With heating now on and the system running perfectly, this home is well on its way to providing comfortable, low-carbon warmth for years to come. ♻️

Viessmann Deutschland GmbH is building a district heating network based on solar thermal energy on the popular German vacation island of Föhr.
The construction of another large-scale solar thermal energy plant on the North Sea island of Föhr began in early February 2025. The collectors of the solar thermal system cover a total area of 3,076 m2.
Allendorf (Eder)/ Föhr, Germany, July 2, 2025 – The construction of another large-scale solar thermal energy plant on the North Sea island of Föhr began in early February 2025. The Energiegenossenschaft Föhr eG is continuing its efforts to make the popular vacation island even more sustainable. The Viessmann Deutschland GmbH is responsible for the implementation and construction of the turnkey system. The company is part of Viessmann Climate Solutions, which belongs to Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
Föhr, known for its beautiful landscape and as a popular tourist destination in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is increasingly focusing on sustainable energy sources. In addition to existing initiatives to use renewable energy, the island will significantly expand its capacity by installing a new, state-of-the-art solar thermal energy system. This project underlines Föhr’s commitment to protecting the environment and reducing its ecological footprint. Föhr’s island location offers ideal conditions for solar thermal energy, as the solar radiation is above average.
The district heating network based on solar thermal energy is designed to produce more than one gigawatt hour (GWh) of heat per year. This corresponds to a renewable energy share of > 23% of Energiegesellschaft Föhr eG’s total heating requirements. The collectors of the solar thermal system cover a total area of 3,076 m2. Energiegenossenschaft Föhr eG put this large-scale project out to tender and Viessmann Deutschland GmbH came out on top against the other competitors. The contract includes the design and construction of the turnkey solar thermal system, a 500 m3 buffer storage tank and a prefabricated technical building. This will include the solar unit, the heat exchanger and the control system.
The system is to be fully operational in June 2025 and will lead to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions on Föhr from that point onwards. The system is already the third solar thermal system to be taken into operation by Viessmann Climate Solutions in Germany in June 2025. The construction of the solar thermal systems and other planned projects show that district heating networks and the large-scale use of solar thermal energy as a heat source are becoming increasingly important in Germany.
“We are proud to be able to implement this solar thermal project together with the Energiegenossenschaft Föhr eG. The potential of climate technology as part of the district heating supply in Germany is huge – both from a social and financial perspective. The form of energy is renewable, the technology is reliable and the cost and CO₂ savings are attractive for the system operators,” says Dr. Conrad Wiedeler, Managing Director Viessmann Deutschland GmbH.
The system produces district heating from renewable energies – saving many tons of CO₂ emissions every year. Another plus point for the project are the more predictable prices. This new district heating project will enable the Energiegenossenschaft Föhr eG to cover a large part of its annual heating requirements for the next 30 years and calculate costs in advance.
Jan-Hauke Riewerts, Brar Hinrichsen, Dirk Lehmann and Alexander Schweizer, Management Board of Energiegenossenschaft Föhr eG, would like to thank all parties involved for enabling the construction of this important district heating project to begin. They are looking forward to commissioning the new solar thermal district heating system in June 2025. The inauguration ceremony is planned for August 17, 2025.
