This new build property has been completed to Sustainable Homes Code 3 level to meet the planning requirements at the time. The inclusion of an air source heat pump to provide the heating and hot water was a crucial part of that accreditation.
The house uses underfloor heating, offering some of the best running costs from an Eco Air Boiler. Once inhabited we predict that the house will have an annualised running cost of just £1,680 a potential saving of over £1,300 compared to oil.
The developer commented “Being able to offer my customers such low heating bills compared to the costs of oil is a real bonus.”
