I wanted to remove gas from the house and show that you can install a heatpump anywhere!

About this property

London, N19

4 bedrooms

Air source heat pump

EPC rating: C

Installing the system

House has had a number of changes/extensions over 50 years, insulated to varying levels, but plenty of uninsulated solid brick wall still. 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 the decisions to make at the start of the installation.

I didnt change any radiators as the only cold part of the house is the UFH area. We got a 200L Vaillant cylinder that was installed in the old boiler cupboard (it needed expanding by 10cm)

Living with a heat pump

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