GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
http://www.gbc.ie/renewable_energy.html
Geothermal energy refers to heat energy stored in the ground. Heat is supplied to the ground from two sources namely the hot core of the planet and the sun. The sun powers natural cycles on earth like the wind, water flow and plant growth. But the sun is also such a reliable source of heat and light that we sometimes take it for granted. Air to Water Heat Pumps are ideal for retrofits or indeed where vertical/horizontal collector systems are not suitable.

Heat Pumps
http://www.gbc.ie/heat_pumps.html
Air to Water Heat Pumps. Air to Water Heat Pumps are ideal for retrofits or indeed where vertical/horizontal collector systems are not suitable. They can collect heat from the air in temperatures as low as -7 degrees. This system will have to be fitted with a small supplementary back up system for when there is no heat in the temperature outside for the heat pump to draw from. Can be installed with existing oil/gas heating system in place, and use them as the supplementary back up system.
