Daikin air source heat pump in a 1945 - 1964 property

Ben

I’ve been interested in the technology for a while as a means to decarbonise and reduce costs. It also works well with the solar panels and home battery we have installed. I’m opening my house as I genuinely believe heat pumps are the way forward, and wish to help cancel out the ill informed negative press about heat pumps.

Installing the system

My reasons for installing a heat pump were both to reduce costs and to decarbonise. Initial performance suggests I have achieved both. 

I have a 11kw Daikin air sourced heat pump. I moved from a combi oil boiler, so installation required the addition of a new hot water cylinder. House is based on a 1960s bungalow, but with a second story added in 2020. Full cavity wall insulation, and double glazing, but very limited floor insulation on ground floor. 

Installation experience was very positive, taking a total of five days. 

Living with a heat pump

So far it’s working as expected. I have plenty of hot water and heat. Most importantly, running costs are down. The system is quieter than the oil boiler that was located inside the house, and I no longer get the occasional whiff of heating oil. Oh and I have more room on my drive now the oil tank is gone.
