From Oil Heating to Low-Carbon Comfort

Neil and Anne Clark wanted to replace their conventional oil boiler with a more environmentally responsible heating system.

However, they needed a solution that could work effectively with the property’s existing radiators. Its peaceful location near Lake Windermere also made low operating noise an important consideration.

The Client

Neil and Anne Clark are committed to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Their 15-panel solar array can generate approximately 6kW at peak output, helping supply renewable electricity to the new heat pump and supporting a lower-carbon home.

The Goal

The aim was to replace the existing oil boiler with a lower-carbon system while retaining the property’s radiators.

The new system also needed to operate quietly and provide reliable heating throughout colder Lake District winters.

How We Did It

Step 1 — Assessing the Property

We began by considering the property’s existing heating system, radiator setup and available renewable electricity generation.

The proposed solution needed to provide sufficiently high flow temperatures while avoiding unnecessary disruption.

Step 2 — Selecting the System

The Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan R290 was selected because it can deliver water temperatures of up to 75°C, making it well suited to properties transitioning from a conventional boiler.

Step 3 — Installation

We installed and commissioned the new air source heat pump, integrating it with the property’s existing heating infrastructure.

The completed system was tested and configured to provide dependable heating.

The Work

The existing oil-fired heating system was replaced with a Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan R290 air source heat pump, providing the property with a lower-carbon alternative while allowing the existing radiator system to remain in use.

The system was carefully configured and commissioned to provide reliable heating while taking advantage of electricity generated by the property’s existing solar array.
