Daikin air source heat pump in a pre 1920 property

Brendan

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

Installing the system

Mid terrace, 150m2, 1906 family home in a Conservation area of Cardiff
Recently moved in and doing a complete needed retrofit
300mm attic insulation, 100mm suspended floor insulation. Double glazing at rear of house, original sash windows and door at the front of the house
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 12kw Daikin Altherma 3, 250lt 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

We have just gone through our first winter and its been amazing, performing better than expected. A constant heat of 20C, on the Octopus Cosy tariff. 
System is set to weather dependant, 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 last year.
Gas meter removed, fully electric house
