Installing the system

House has had a number of changes/extensions over 50 years, insulated to varying levels, plus plenty of uninsulated solid brick wall. The roof is well insulated and windows mostly double glazed.

Installation took about 3.5 days for a team of 2 (plus manager/electrician visits on top) and was very well communicated in terms of what would happen when. Some superficial decoration to do after the installation (~1 days worth), but generally very tidy, used lots of floor protection, and didnt really impact on me while working, except for a few decisions to make at the start of the installation.

Didnt change any radiators as the only cold part of the house is UFH, and the 200L Vaillant cylinder was installed in the old boiler cupboard (that needed expanding by 10cm)

Living with a heat pump

Working well and living up to expectations so far! Its only done a bit of heating so far but Im not worried based on how well it seems to work.
