The Background
This beautiful Grade II listed farmhouse in Kent had a dated oil system that needed upgrading and through discussions with A Greener Alternative various alternative options were explored before deciding upon a cascaded system of two air source heat pumps to provide heating and hot water to upgraded radiators throughout the property.
The Solution
A Greener Alternative have designed a system that utilises two MasterTherm Boxair 7-35kW three-phase air source heat pump units. The units are situated away from the property with services running back to the house via high-quality, insulated underground pipe. Internal works took place to upgrade radiators throughout the property with careful works undertaken to preserve the interior of the home.
The MasterTherm air source heat pumps which are situated away from the property extract heat from the outside air to provide heating and hot water to the home. The heat pumps (pictured above) have been hidden and protected by woven hurdle fencing in keeping with the properties surrounds (picture left) whilst allowing for appropriate air flow for maximum performance of the two heat pump units.
The Result
The client now runs their entire heating and hot water system from a state-of-the-art air source heat pump that is not only a more sustainable solution but also means they will never pay an oil bill again!
