Mr Broughton, Renewable Energy System

The complete solar power and heating package to provide a virtually carbon neutral solution.

Air Source Heat Pump, Solar PV, Solar Thermal and Battery Storage installation

Background

Mr Broughton had recently purchased this property and was looking to make improvements throughout. The property was link detached in a suburban area and whilst the property was 50+ years old, it had been retrofit insulated to bring it close to current requirements, so the energy requirement was minimal.

Requirement

He required a low carbon solution to assist with his electrical vehicle charging needs and a new heating system to provide a more efficient way to heat his home whilst providing a higher hot water pressure to his newly installed bathroom. Future proofing his home was a necessity along with reducing his carbon emissions.

Solution

A Mitsubishi Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump provided all heating and hot water demands. A new heating system was installed which compromised of traditional convector radiators and also fan assisted radiators where space was a limitation. An evacuated tube solar thermal collector was connected to a pressurised heat pump hot water tank to provide hot water requirements using the suns free energy. Finally, a Solar PV system with battery storage allowed for a fully integrated and complimentary package of green energy solutions. All energy stored could be utilised day and night to charge the electric vehicle or contribute to the heat pumps electrical demand.

The Testimonial

“Having had an air source heat pump at our previous house and keen to fit in our new property eventually but the old gas combi boiler broke at beginning of COVID lockdown! At short notice Marshal and McCourt were able to install an air source heat pump, solar thermal and PV panels with a wall battery in July 2020. Impressed they were able to accommodate our needs in difficult COVID times, both availability and sourcing materials. Detailed planning and calculations as to our house requirements. Staff were both friendly and professional. Some issues post installation dealt with quickly and efficiently. Also, some joint learning with regard to siting of pipes and planning regulations quickly resolved. They have responded quickly to any queries we have had. Servicing booked easily with flexibility for our availability.”
