Introduction
In the village of Dyserth, North Wales, our client was undertaking a home renovation project to modernise their heating system by replacing their outdated oil boiler with a cleaner, more efficient alternative. Their main objective was to reduce energy bills, lower carbon emissions, and move away from oil. Our team was selected to design and install a complete renewable heating package that would be both sustainable and future-proof. The solution combined an air source heat pump and solar PV system to maximise energy savings and efficiency.
Methodology
Our process began with a detailed site survey carried out by our in-house engineers. We consulted with the client to understand their heating requirements, assess the property’s layout, and determine the optimal placement for the heat pump and solar panels. Using heat loss calculations and system compatibility checks, we designed a tailored setup that integrates a Mitsubishi Ecodan R32 6kW Monobloc Air Source Heat Pump, solar panels, and a hot water cylinder, all of which seamlessly connect to the home’s underfloor heating system.
Installation
The installation began by fitting the Mitsubishi Ecodan unit to an external wall to ensure optimal airflow and performance. Inside the property, we installed a 170-litre hot water cylinder to meet the household’s daily demands. To ensure efficient heating distribution, we connected an underfloor heating manifold directly to the heat pump system, which is perfect for this type of heating. Alongside this, our engineers mounted solar panels on the roof and installed a Solis inverter to convert solar energy into usable electricity. This would help power the heat pump, reducing our reliance on the national grid.
Outcome
The completed system has transformed the property into an energy-efficient home powered by a fully integrated renewable heating solution. Thanks to the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant, replacing the outdated oil boiler with a modern air source heat pump was significantly more cost-effective. The new setup now delivers a constant supply of hot water, evenly distributed warmth through the underfloor heating system, and noticeably reduced energy bills. The solar PV system further enhances efficiency by helping to power the heat pump, cutting reliance on the National Grid.
The client was delighted with the high standard of workmanship and the immediate comfort improvements throughout their home. With the support of the BUS grant, minimal ongoing maintenance requirements, and long-term energy savings, this Dyserth renovation stands as a leading example of sustainable living in North Wales.
