The Background
This three-bedroom detached property in West Sussex was providing all heating and hot water requirements via a gas boiler. Looking to do their bit for the environment and with a plan to integrate a new system with Solar PV, the customer opted not to replace their gas system and instead explore the option of a more sustainable alternative in the form of an air source heat pump.
The Solution
A Greener Alternative have designed a system that utilises a single 6kW Midea R290 air source heat pump with a 170 litre hot water cylinder to provide heating to radiators and provision of all domestic hot water requirements. The unit is sited at the side of the property with services running back into the house.
The Midea R290 air source heat pump which is situated neatly at the side of the property extracts heat from the outside air to provide heating and hot water to the home.
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 a gas bill again! On top of this they will look to integrate a solar PV system that will supplement the running of the air source heat pump further saving them money.
