About me
Renovation works, original boiler packed up and we are aware of the effects of fossil fuels. Number one reason for going this way is the (hopefully) reduced energy costs.

Visiting my heat pump
Contact by email. Questions welcome. We have solar, battery and heat pump setup.

About this property

Bedford, MK42

4 bedrooms

Air source heat pump

EPC rating: B

Installing the system

During an extension we decided to go to ASHP, as the boiler was old and needed moving anyway. Pipework went between ceiling and floor joists so hidden from view. Some radiators needed to be replaced. Overall four days by Octopus.

Living with a heat pump

It's not really been used yet during the summer months as we have solar and battery, as well as a Solar I-boost, which diverts excess electricity to the immersion heater. It is set up to come on at 4am to ensure we have hot water, but the immersion is set slightly higher, so the ASHP hasn't been used much. Winter will be the interesting time.
