1920s Mid-terrace, the owners Micheal and Amanda knew that this was their chance to get off gas and embrace a heat pump.

Michael moved to a mid-terrace house in Trumpington in 2019, having lived for several years in a South Cambs village. He decided to replace the ageing combi-boiler with a cost-effective, low carbon air-source heat pump (ASHP). It was a very simple process, and he found that even his 1920s home met the requirements. Going down a sustainable route was important for him but whatever your views on the environment a heat pump makes sense as an affordable and effective way to heat your home.   Michael says ‘the new systems controls, and thermostat mean the heating system is easier to use and the house is warmer.’ Along with the project came some challenges, for example finding somewhere for a new hot water cylinder as the old airing cupboard was inaccessible.  Overall, the benefits far outweighed the challenges, and the air-source heat pump has performed as anticipated. He is pleased with how things are going, and confident about future reliability and cost.  Key features of this home  <ul><li>8.5kW Mitsubishi Air Source Heat Pump  </li><li>200L R32 1Ph Mono Packaged Cylinder Mitsubishi  </li><li> 4 panel PV system (JA SOLAR 390 WATT ALL BLACK MONO HALF-CELL ALL BLACK SHORT FRAME MC4)  </li><li> FoxESS small system battery (FOX ESS HV2600 2.6KWH HV BATTERY) </li><li></li></ul>Tour details1 hour in-person tours with a maximum of 8 people per tour, running:Sun 26th October 11:00, 13:00, 15:00Bookers will be sent location details in reminder emails.
