Semi-detached property, hosted by Richard

The heat pump was installed when we were not living in the house. As part of the renovation all the insulation was improved ( lathe and plaster replaced , insulation under wooden floors) and additional or larger radiators fitted in some places. Two ground floor rooms have underfloor heating. It was done during covid which added other problems. We have a bore hole and the noise was deafening to the entire neighbourhood for 3 days but they have forgiven us now.  

We have learned to  crank it up and forget it. We are quite warm , though we light the stove in the evenings in the winter when we are sitting down. We control the thermostat remotely when we go on holdiay. In summer we turn the  thermostat right down and forget it. There are always lashings of hot water an no particular noise from the heat pump. Our HP is under warrantly and any problmes we have had have been sorted  out.
As part of our energy management we also  also have batteries, solar panels and use an 'agile' electircity tarriff.
