“The only real alternative for this property would have been oil which would have incurred significant installation and running cost. The cascade system therefore proceed to be ideal as it offers a cost effective solution.”
2x14kW Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump
300L Cylinder
20W Heat Demand
Off-Gas Location
The original farmhouse was in an off-gas area and as is typical of this type of property, has no heating system apart from open fires. The only real alternative would have been oil which would have meant significant install and running costs.
Specifications
Specification of the homeowner was for underfloor heating throughout the property which incorporated a number of different floors and levels with the remaining rooms wanting antique radiators.
Limited space
With the limited space surrounding the property, a bespoke solution was called for which would meet the requirements of the homeowner while also proving cost effective to run.
Single phase electric supply
A further complication came from the single phase electricity supply and extensive costs which would need to be met by the homeowner if a 3-phase power supply had to be installed to the property.
Cascade System
To resolve these issues, the installer, Source energy, specified an Ecodan air source heat pump cascade system, which rotates the workload between the individual heat pump to maximise efficiency. Two 14kW Ecodan air source heat pumps were installed to linked to a 300 litre Kingspan stainless steel hot water tank to meet the 20W heat demand and supply a sufficient volume of hot water to meet the needs of the occupants.
Reducing carbon footprint and annual running costs
Going forward the homeowner can enjoy a sustainable, eco friendly heat system which is efficient to run and provides copious amounts of hot water. More importantly, they are taking advantage of a system which uses renewable energy resulting is significantly reducing their carbon footprint and annual running costs.
