The challenge
Solid walls meant we needed to carefully size the system, and space for the outdoor unit was limited in the small rear yard.
Our solution
We installed a compact Daikin Altherma 8kW unit on vibration-dampening feet, with a 180L cylinder in the kitchen cupboard. Some radiator upgrades were needed.
The result
The family saves nearly £1,000 per year on heating, and the system runs quietly enough that the neighbours haven't noticed the outdoor unit.
“We love that we're no longer burning gas. The house feels more comfortable and our bills are genuinely lower.”
— Mark & Julie Chen
