Rising fuel costs have impacted everyone, and rural properties off the gas grid are certainly no exception. This homeowner in Elkstone, Gloucestershire saw a sharp rise in his LPG fuel bills, and decided to shop around for energy savings. We recommended a heat pump to provide affordable heating throughout the property, and solar panels with a storage battery to reduce energy bills.
We installed a 16kW Midea air source heat pump with a 300 litre heat pump cylinder to meet the property’s heat requirements. We also delivered seventeen 400w Longi panels for a total 6.8kW solar system, accompanied by two SolaX 5.8 kWh batteries to store electricity for usage during low-light periods.
The always-on heat pump introduced a significant step change to the household, no longer reliant on setting timers to optimise heating usage around high energy bills. With the accompanying solar array, the property saw a reduction in its heat and electricity bills amounting to several hundred pounds a month.
