Barres

Barres specialise in renewable energy and underfloor heating. We design integrated solutions for all the heating and hot water for your project. We work with new build domestic and commercial and renovation.

Products

Heatpumps: Ochsner. These high quality Austrian units are available in both Air source and Ground source versions. Each unit is hand built to order. Their extensive range is suitable for very small projects up to very large commercial projects.

Solar Thermal: Barres has its own brand of Solar thermal panels made in Austria these black panels look great on any roof.

Underfloor Heating: We distribute the Schutz system from Germany. This features high quality 16mm five layer UFH pipe and stainless Steel manifolds. For retrofit we offer the Meander8 system from HPG in Germany. Meander8 takes up minimal height, as little as 12mm. It’s great for use on suspended floors but can also be used on solid floors. Many of our new build heat pump customers use it on the 1st floor instead of radiators.

Domestic hot water heat pumps: The Ochsner Mini Europa can provide 2.2kW of heat and yet it only consumes 600W of power. The air source unit has the added benefit of providing some beneficial cooling as it is possible to extract the air from a warm room and return it slightly cooler. It is ideal for passive or all electric houses.

PV: Brands include Viesmann / Schuco panel and Bosch or SMA inverters. We have our own in house design staff and guarantee our design.

We also offer service contracts and have factory trained engineers, all our service staff have F Gas qualifications. Although we operate primarily in Scotland we have service agreements in Northumberland on some IDM units.

How we work
1]We offer design, supply, install and commission packages throughout Scotland.
Installs are carried out by Mechanical and electrical trades from the GA Barnie group.

GA Barnie has over 250 employees based in six branches including the Western Isles and Orkney. The standard of workmanship is very high.

2]We also work with our system partners where we provide a design supply and commission package. System partners are generally small independent plumbing and heating contractors who want to offer quality, reliability and backup to their clients.

Our system partners are very important to us and we work very closely together to deliver great projects that they can be proud of. We are always on the lookout for new professional system partners who offer quality installs and great customer service.
