Retired couple trying to minimise costs by installing efficient heating and power supplies. So far we are doing OK. We are mentioned in the new Discovery Museum exhibition about energy saving. (see pic)

About this property

Gateshead, NE11

3 bedrooms

Air source heat pump

Installed by Government project

EPC rating: C+

Cost of energy bills per year: below average - less than £1000

Installing the system

Installation took 3 days - old gas boiler and radiators removed - heat pump, hot water cylinder, controls and all new radiators fitted to existing pipework (15mm). 11kW LT Monobloc ASHP & 200L domestic hot water cylinder with new radiators throughout - we also use solar panels and batteries, a solar diverter for hot water

Living with a heat pump

Seems expensive in cold spells BUT over the year we are using half the electricity we did pre-heat pump. Our house is cosy and warm and we have plenty of hot water.
