The project involved a three-bedroom terraced house serving as a family home, which initially relied on a gas warm air heating system. The client opted for an upgrade to improve energy efficiency and overall comfort within the home. There were no specific targets for emission reduction on this project. The primary reason for replacing the old gas warm air heating system was to transition to a more efficient and modern heating
solution. The new system aimed to provide better temperature control and reduce operating costs.
The installation marked R A Brown Heating Services’ first experience with an Ariston Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP). The process went smoothly, with the existing infrastructure integrating well with the new system. The house now maintains a more consistent and comfortable temperature due to the renewable heating source and new heat emitters being fitted in each room. The previous system cost £1,301 annually. While the new system’s
costs are pending final analysis, they are expected to be lower.
R A Brown, Norwich - Air Source Heat Pump Installation
The Ariston Nimbus Pocket ASHP was selected based on heat loss calculations and design parameters. It was installed alongside a 22/50L hot water cylinder for the provision of domestic hot water. This new heat pump is a cutting-edge solution for heating and cooling with high efficiency and low environmental footprint. Its design is the result of thorough consultation with professionals and is characterised by a number of innovative
features that will make installation, set-up and maintenance easier than ever.
