About me
Hi, I am Max, I work in sustainability and I have decided with my wife to transform our house in an eco-home as much as possible. A heat pump with PV solar panels was the obvious choice for us! Happy to present our install to anyone interested!
Visiting my heat pump
Don't hesitate to request a visit or message me. I'd prefer to show you round when is convenient, rather than hosting an event. People can reach out directly to suggest times to visit and can message questions

Air source heat pump
Installed by Octopus Energy
EPC rating: B
Cost of energy bills per year: 600
Installing the system
Internal changes: a couple of radiators had to be upgraded and a new water tank installed in the loft.
Living with a heat pump
We carried out quite an extensive retrofit with highly efficient double glazing, underfloor ground floor insulation, improving airtightness, topping up loft insulation, etc.
MVHR is next!
Having a heat pump is exactly the same as having the previous gas boiler (i.e. this is seamless!). But with more controls as I have now a digital thermostat that I can control by phone if I want to.

Internal hardware (hot water cylinder/controls) are currently in the loft, so they are not accessible for people in wheelchair and people would need to be comfortable climbing up a loft ladder. On street parking available
