Bit of a monster this one. 13.64kw heatloss on this 2 winged property. Customer being very knowledgeable himself, requested an open loop system with only flow limiters on the radiators and new manifolds for the underfloor. This allows us to set the correct flow to each room rather than using thermostats. We had long primary runs so had to use 40mm mlcp to overcome the pressure drop.
Before the oil price increased, this customer was paying £4,000 a year to heat this house. And that was looking to double simce the price increase. We've also managed to do away with about 5 pumps.
This was done under the boiler upgrade scheme so claimed £9,000 towards the cost. Helping to pay for the 6 new radiators, heatpump, controls and all the bits in-between.
We've added open energy monitor so we can closely watch this systems performance.
