About me
We needed a new heating system and did a lot of investigation before hand, the BUS grant and smart tariffs have made it cost effective. We have joined the open house as we want to show that is does work in old, mid terrace, homes and share our experience.
Happy to be contacted rather than setting up event days

Installing the system
Recently moved in and doing a complete needed retrofit
500mm attic insulation, 150mm suspended floor insulation. Double and triple glazing at rear of house, original sash windows and door at the front of the house, insulating lime render on internal exterior facing walls.
We had a 24 yr old undersized boiler when we moved in and needed to remodel the kitchen. Took the opportunity to install an Air Source Heat Pump after lots of investigation on options.
Have a 11kw Daikin Altherma 3, 300lt Hot Water tank, 50lt header tank and Under Floor Heating downstairs.
7 radiators, 6 upstairs, 1 in hallway, using original 15mm pipework all double panel.
Living with a heat pump
System is set to weather dependant, 38C at -2C (designed 50C at -2C) HW temp of 42C and we were encouraged to tweak/use the system by the installers to optimise.
Don't know the SCOP, but we're paying less than 2023/24 winter combined bill.
Gas meter removed, fully electric house
