Sometimes a heat pump sounds like the best option, but sometimes a gas boiler makes more sense 👇🏼

The customer was an 83 year old women who lives alone in a 4 bed.

The property had a total heat loss of 13kW.

If I was to install a heat pump that operated at a flow temp of 45°C and below, she would have needed an average of 2 radiators in each room.

I could have installed one at a 50°C flow temp, but I don’t believe it would be cost-effective, regardless of what the data suggests.

And for someone living alone at 83, I don’t feel comfortable recommending a system without being confident it would make financial sense for her.

There’s a big difference between a heating system being ‘’technically suitable’’ for a property and being the right financial decision for the person living in it.

And I think as installers, we have a responsibility to recognise and implement that.

Easy fix on a hot water cylinder! 🧑‍🔧

We were called out to a customer with no hot water too their two downstairs showers.

It took less than 30 seconds to diagnose the issue.

The thermal cut out just needed resetting! A common issue with direct cylinders but a very simple fix.

And that’s why Oliver is our boiler engineer 🤣

He really could do the whole job blindfolded!

If you’re renovating your home, here’s some tips on how to keep it warm, while keeping your energy bills as low as possible 🔥

1) Insulate the walls, ceiling & floor.

This will reduce heat loss and keep your energy bills low.

2) Install underfloor heating upstairs and downstairs.

Underfloor heating runs on a lower temperature which means you’re not using as much energy to heat the house, and it’ll heat the house more efficiently.

3) Consider installing a Heat Pump.

If you’re already going to the extent of insulating your home and installing underfloor heating, your house is perfect for a heat pump!

4) Make sure all your radiators are size correctly for you home.

If you’re radiators aren’t the right size for each room you’ll struggle to heat your home and put extra strain on your heating system and increase your energy bills.

Our team have been putting the finishing touches on a new heating and hot water system at a property in Small Dale.

We’ve installed a Vaillant boiler alongside an Ideal hot water cylinder, to provide reliable heating and hot water throughout the entire home.

To make the most of the space, we’ve neatly concealed the system within a ceiling cavity, keeping everything tucked away so the homeowners can enjoy their new home without the system taking up any unnecessary space.

Apparently toilets only have 6 parts 🤔🤣

We put the lads to the test to see how many toilets they could all name in 15 seconds.

It was a triple tie with 6’s all round.

How many could you name? 👀
