Detached property, hosted by Patricia

1990s 4 bedroom detached property with a 25-year old gas boiler that we wanted to upgrade.  Property has microbore pipework for the heating system.
Installation of Midea 10kW heatpump in August 2023, which took 4 days.  The majority of radiators were upgraded to double-thickness / larger surface area radiators.  A larger hot water cylinder was installed.

We use the "Homely" app to control the heat pump - just set the required temperature and time of day, along with the electricity tariff, and it works out when the heat pump should run.  Once the initial installation teething problems were resolved, it has worked well ever since.  We tend to keep the house at 18 degrees between 7am and 11pm.

An initial analysis of our gas and electricity bills for the first year indicate that we saved 75% of the energy (kWh) used to power the house, and it cost us 25% less to heat our home to the same level as before.
