Samsung air source heat pump in a pre 1920 property

Matteo

We wanted to stop consuming fossil fuels but had been on the fence about heat pumps and it would have helped us to visit a home and ask questions. Happy to provide this service to others.

Air source heat pump

Installing the system

Our home was drafty and we had an old gas boiler. We replaced many windows to improve insulation. Then we tried to figure out a heat pump, but we were fussy about were to place it, and the companies we consulted were not great. Finally we accepted that the outside unit had to go in our rear garden, and we found a great company (Econic), and they did a fine job.

Living with a heat pump

We are happy that we are no longer consuming fossil fuels, and the house is much more pleasant. Before, it alternated between being cold and hot. Now it's super steady. The only (mild)  regret is that the 12 kW outside unit is large relative to our tiny rear garden. From what I can tell we only use 2 kW, so perhaps we could have gone for a smaller unit?

Visiting my heat pump: We installed a heat pump in our terraced house in Stoke-Newington. We are delighted with it but have a couple of suggestions about things I might have done differently. If you are interested, feel free to reach out!
