Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Hereford, Herefordshire

Smart Energy Homes recently completed an air source heat pump installation at a detached family home in Herefordshire, helping the homeowner transition away from oil heating and towards a more efficient renewable energy solution.

The customer was looking for ways to improve the propertyโ€™s energy efficiency, reduce long-term heating costs and future-proof their home. With an existing oil combi boiler system and rising energy costs, they wanted to explore whether an air source heat pump could provide a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative.

Following a detailed on-site survey, our team designed and installed a Grant Aerona 290 9kW Air Source Heat Pump alongside a new hot water cylinder and selected radiator upgrades.

Understanding the Property

The property is a four-bedroom detached home located in Herefordshire. The house benefits from a mix of traditional stone and brick construction, including a kitchen extension and an integrated garage.

The homeowner already had a 4.5kW solar PV system installed, demonstrating a clear commitment to improving the propertyโ€™s energy efficiency and reducing reliance on imported energy.

At the time of our survey, the property was heated by an oil combi boiler located within the garage. While the system remained operational, the homeowner was interested in reducing running costs and making the switch to renewable heating technology.
