Teddington, TW11
3 bedrooms
Air source heat pump
EPC rating: B
Cost of energy bills per year: £200
Living with a heat pump
1. Triple Glazing
2. External Wall Insulation
3. Heat Pump
4. Solar PV + Battery
Our house stays at around 20 °C all year round and our bills are low. With the new Octopus Intelligent Go tariff our bills are around £200 /year.
We have a winter and a summer regime. In winter we buy cheap electricity at night and run heavy loads - dryer and washer and hot water heating - during the cheap rate. We then run off the battery until it runs out - which happens mainly in December and January. In spring and autumn we don't need to buy any full price electricity. In summer, we charge up the battery from solar PV during the day and run heavy loads - including hot water heating - during the day - and then run overnight on the battery.
