Comments from homeowner:

"The village has no gas and when we moved in 18 months ago we wanted to move away from the oil fired boiler. Air source heat pumps sounded great but I couldn't find anywhere to put the external unit that didn't affect future garden / planting."

The property features a "Heat / Thermal Battery Technology" based heating system (Tepeo ZEB boiler)

The ZEB is powered by off-peak electricity and works like a battery to store energy as heat until it is needed. Typically there are no changes required to the radiators and pipework although you will need a hot water tank if you dont already have one.

Heat battery systems can be a good alternative to Air Source Heat Pumps where there maybe restrictions or difficulties specifying a heat pump but wanting an electric based heating option.

The govenement is set to expand the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant to include Heat Battery technology. Confirmation of details and technologies are still to be released but the grant could be worth £2,500 towards the install.

Insulation - The property has been thermally upgraded with insulation added to floor, walls and roof.
