Lichfield, Staffordshire

Bromley Hayes Cattery in Lichfield is using a Ground Source Heat Pump and solar photovoltaic (PV) system from specialist manufacturer Stiebel Eltron, in a bid to be eco-friendly.

West Midlands installation firm Green Source Renewable Energy Systems (GSRES) worked closely with Stiebel Eltron and the cattery owners to complete the project, which will provide heating and electricity to a collection of purpose built chalets for cats. Stourbridge based GSRES visited Bromley Hayes Cattery in November to advise owner Wayne Bull – who is a registered electrician – as to which renewable equipment was suitable and where it should be installed.
Mr Bull installed a Stiebel Eltron ground source WPF10 heat pump, applied through a trench system, to provide heating to the cattery. He also installed under floor heating and 17 x 225-watt PV panels to the property which will provide electricity. Bromley Hayes Cattery opened in January and includes 21 outdoor cat pens, each able to house four cats.
