Installing the system

This host hasn't added a description of installing their system.

Living with a heat pump

Our house is a 70s former council terrace in a large estate in North Cambridge. We have installed an air source heat pump feeding our previous wet radiator heating system, as well as a roof full of solar panels, which exports more electricity over the year than we use, which I reckon is good enough for net zero!

It's by no means a grand design, so demonstrates how you can get your house to net zero without needing to be an architect, a limitless budget, or to move out. Apart from a rainbow bike shed it looks just like the neighbouring houses. The only insulation change we've made is topping up the loft insulation, which was inadequate when we moved in.

I work for Parity Projects, supporting local authorities to retrofit homes, so can add a bit of the wider policy context too.

Accessing the venue

Parking is always a mess around us, but plenty of room for bikes. Best to head for the back entrance (the rainbow shed), which is on Sackville Close.
