Broad Experience in the Green Industry

We have a proven record of delivering projects on time and within our customers budget. Our experience shows that projects that go through an independent design process like ours have a higher chance of succeeding and provide the expected performance and efficiency levels.

High Level of Customer Service

Engage with a qualified and experienced consultancy like us to carry out all due diligences, concept and planning to ensure the success of your project. At Enertec, we pride ourselves on excellent customer service and find that the majority of our work comes from repeat customers or referrals.

Committed to the Environment

We offer design and construct services for residential and light commercial and industrial projects. We provide clever and innovative solutions, working closely with installation contractors to ensure that all projects are supplied in a timely and cost effective manner.

Technologies

  • In Slab Radiant Heating Systems

    In slab heating is the most efficient way to heat an occupied space, polymer pipes are laid into the concrete slab or floor through which low-temperature hot water is circulated.

  • Waste Heat Recovery

    Waste heat recovery is where surplus heat that is rejected from a building or process is recovered and utilized on site to offset energy consumption from the utility networks.

  • Air to Air Heat Recovery Ventilators

    Buildings lose a large amount of heat through ventilation as warm air that has been heated in the space is then exhausted and replaced with fresh outside air.

  • Indirect Evaporative Coolers

    Indirect Evaporative coolers or IDEC are highly efficient means to cool large spaces using an evaporative process.

  • Natural Refrigerant Chillers and Heat Pumps

    Natural Refrigerants that have both minimum impact on global warming and can be safely disposed of at the end of their useful life.

  • High Temperature Heat Pumps

    A booster heat pump to take water from a medium temperature from the first stage heat pump to high temperature (via a second stage heat pump).

  • Heat Recovery Chillers/Heat Pumps

    Waste heat recovery can improve the overall efficiency of a heating and cooling system when there is a simultaneous demand for hot water generation and space cooing.

  • Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) – Air Conditioning

    A VRF (Variable refrigerant Flow) is an air conditioning system where a single condenser unit can serve multiple indoor units.

  • Hybrid Geothermal

    Hybrid Geothermal systems integrate geothermal systems with conventional equipment such as cooling towers and boilers or with multiple types of geothermal.

  • Open Loop Geothermal

    Open-loop systems extract water from the groundwater table or confined aquifer and exchange heat with condenser water via a heat exchanger.

  • Geothermal Heat Pumps

    Geothermal heat pumps make use of the stable temperature and large thermal mass of the below ground substrate down to 150m to extract or reject heat from a building’s heating and cooling process.

  • Thermal Storage

    Thermal storage uses fluids or phase change materials to store thermal energy when demand is low and act as an energy source during peak times.

  • Solar Thermal

    Solar thermal systems heat water up to 65°C + using free energy from the sun. Solar can provide domestic hot water, space, process and pool heating.

  • Condensing / Hydrogen Boilers

    Condensing Boilers are fuel powered boilers that use condensing technology to maximise thermal efficiency.

Our Projects

Enertec has completed numerous projects around Australia including in diverse climates such as Perth, Margaret River, Tasmania, regional Victoria, Sydney, Southern highlands of NSW, regional Victoria as well as New Zealand. Our Aim is to provide the highest quality design and documentation to de-risk and simplify the construction process. The feedback we have received from our clients is that we go above and beyond what typical contractors provide. We leverage off our Tier 1 project experience to deliver the same standards for all projects for high end commercial and government funded projects down to the residential level. Explore some of the multiple projects completed by Enertec.

This varies depending on the size and scope of the project however as a guide, design work can be carried out for between $3000-$5000 for medium size project and $10000 for high end residential.

We will need a set of the latest architectural plans, building fabric details, and end user requirements, you can provide this on our request for design page or contact us and we will send you a detailed questionnaire to fill in.

Highly dependent on the type of project and receipt of all required information but typical turnarounds are between 2 and 3 weeks.

Yes, in fact the system will operate more efficiently when providing both heating and cooling. Cooling can recharge a bore field by dumping heat from a cooling process in summer months and then be extracted back out of the ground by the system for heating applications in winter.

The depth of the vertical bores will depend on the type of geothermal heat exchanger being used and the drilling conditions. as a guide the bores will be between 60 to 120m deep.

Depends what conventional system you are comparing to, but generally speaking between 30 to 60%

This is where the heat pump comes in, it is designed to boost the temperature from low grade in the ground to medium or high grade temperatures via the refrigeration cycle. You still need electricity to drive the process but it is far more energy efficient than conventional means

Really difficult to confirm this until a design is completed hence this is why we recommend you engage our consulting services before moving ahead with selecting a system. Geothermal is a capital-intensive installation and can be anywhere from 20k to 100k in drilling costs depending on the size of the project and ground conditions.

In short yes you can however you will need to pair solar with an auxiliary heat source such as a gas boiler or heat pump.

We do not recommend using solar heating without a back up system, we know of instances where installers have tried to remove the need for additional heating by adding large storage tanks, however you will find particularly in colder parts of Australia heating load is too high and necessitates impractical volumes of storage to maintain heating capacity overnight.

Generally speaking there are two main types of solar panel – flat plate and evacuated tube. Which one you use is dependent largely on your usage, budget and location. Both have their pros and cons but in simple terms evacuated Tubes are more efficient and produce higher temperatures in colder climates on the down side these are more expensive. Flat plate collectors can be more efficient when ambient conditions are higher and are generally the more economical option.

‧ High levels of comfort and lower operating temperatures
‧ Invisible, low noise and flexible design suitable for a range of architectural designs
‧ More efficient had heating in colder climates
‧ Can be paired with multiple heat sources – gas boiler, solar, heat pump etc

There are a number of systems available for timber floors however these systems are more expense and in some cases of heavy timber floor coverings not viable due to the high heating temperatures required.

We do not recommend using UFH unless installing in the majority of your house, if only required in small areas such as bathroom and laundries you may find it is more economical to install electric underfloor.

Yes, however the output is limited, and addition controls are required to prevent condensation forming of the floor.
