Modern Developments specialises in the design, supply, installation and commissioning of renewable heating systems for domestic and commercial applications.
Our installations are not only sustainable and cost-effective but also help reduce carbon emissions. We are MCS accredited and are able to offer the Renewable Heat Incentive.
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is the world’s first long-term financial support programme for renewable heat.
The RHI pays participants of the scheme that generate and use renewable energy to heat their buildings. By increasing the generation of heat from renewable energy sources (instead of fossil fuels), the RHI helps the UK to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to meet targets for reducing the effects of climate change..
Launched in November 2011 to provide payments to industry, businesses and public sector organisations.
The Scottish Government is running an interest free loan scheme for householders who wish to install a renewables system. The scheme offers loans of up to £10,000 and will be available on a first come first served basis.

Wood-fuelled heating systems, also called biomass systems, burn wood pellets, chips or logs to to provide warmth in a single room or to power central heating and hot water boilers.
A biomass boiler burns logs, pellets or chips, and is connected to a central heating and hot water system.
The benefits of Biomass Heating
Heat water for your home using energy from the sun.
Solar water heating systems use free heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water. A conventional boiler or immersion heater can be used to make the water hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is unavailable.

Heat Pumps – Air Source
Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air. This heat can then be used to heat radiators, underfloor heating systems, or warm air convectors and hot water in your home.
An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in the same way that a fridge extracts heat from its inside. It can get heat from the air even when the temperature is as low as -15° C. Heat pumps have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to run, but the heat they extract from the ground, air, or water is constantly being renewed naturally.
The benefits of air source heat pumps
Unlike gas and oil boilers, heat pumps deliver heat at lower temperatures over much longer periods. During the winter they may need to be on constantly to heat your home efficiently. You will also notice that radiators won’t feel as hot to the touch as they might do when you are using a gas or oil boiler.
How do air source heat pumps work?
Heat from the air is absorbed at low temperature into a fluid. This fluid then passes through a compressor where its temperature is increased, and transfers its higher temperature heat to the heating and hot water circuits of the house. There are two main types of air source heat pump system:
