As energy costs continue to rise, compounded by tough economic times, it makes increasing sense to consider installing energy-efficient systems in your home. Many owners are now looking at ways to reduce their energy costs, not only for their own homes but also for holiday rental properties. Winter heating is as necessary as summer cooling for most Algarve properties, but out-dated systems are increasingly costly to run. Today’s energy-efficient technology offers much-reduced running costs and a worthwhile return on investment.
Penguin is one of the region’s foremost specialists in energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Since opening for business in 2008, the company has evolved from solely air-conditioning to a range of energy-efficient technologies: solar, photovoltaic, heat pumps and heat exchangers; applied to various aspects of cooling and heating – underfloor, radiators, pools, domestic water etc.
Today its 14-strong team embraces Portuguese certified building and electrician skills, with all the resources in-house for a broad range of projects. Last year the business relocated to new premises with improved customer reception and display areas, plus expanded technical facilities.
“Nowadays we’re into all aspects of energy-efficient home heating and cooling”, says Penguin’s director and technical advisor, Chris Blackburn. “We’re seeing growing demand for solar systems for domestic water heating which, in one of Europe’s sunniest regions, makes compelling sense. We’ve recently been promoting a revolutionary new system from Solcrafte – an integrated panel-and-tank unit, more aesthetically pleasing than conventional systems, easy-to-install and competitively priced. We’ll have it on display at the Better Living in Portugal exhibition – come and see for yourself!”
