Our client, a homeowner in Perth, was motivated to switch to a more sustainable heating solution by the high costs and inefficiency of their ageing gas boiler. The goal was to find an energy-efficient, cost-effective solution that would provide consistent heating while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
Solution
After assessing the property, we recommended an air source heat pump (ASHP) paired with underfloor heating. The ASHP was chosen for its high efficiency, environmentally friendly operation, and ability to work seamlessly with underfloor heating systems.
The system was carefully selected to suit the property’s size and heating needs, providing a balanced solution to improve energy efficiency while delivering comfortable warmth. The underfloor heating was ideal for the property’s open-plan design, allowing for even heat distribution throughout the home.
Installation Process
The installation process was carried out in several phases to ensure minimal disruption to the homeowners. Our team began with installing the underfloor heating system in key areas, ensuring it was integrated with the ASHP. The air source heat pump was placed outside the property, strategically positioned to extract heat from the air and maximise performance while minimising noise levels.
Given the existing insulation, we ensured that the system was properly calibrated to work efficiently in conjunction with the underfloor heating, which requires lower water temperatures than traditional radiators.
Conclusion
Our team’s expertise was pivotal in successfully installing and seamlessly integrating the air source heat pump and underfloor heating system. We carefully selected the right system for the property, ensuring it met the homeowners’ heating needs while maximising energy efficiency.
