I had the absolute pleasure of fitting the brilliant Vitocal 150-a recently in

The Viessmann is the Rolls Royce of heat pumps and is already achieving fantastic efficiencies. The house was built with underfloor heating throughout so didn’t need any radiator upgrades.

As (almost) always with my installs it was a very tight fit but I managed to squeeze in the indoor unit and a replacement hot water cylinder without too much bother.

The customer has now managed to go gas free so no longer has to pay gas standing charge.

Im now a proud Viessmann VIPartner so can offer a 7 year manufacturer’s warranty on my Viessmann heat pump installs.

Many thanks to:

Another .uk aroTHERM Plus 5kw heat pump with hot water cylinder installed in .

I’ve been looking after their boiler for a few years and after 15 years service had reached end of life due to an expensive repair quote.

Thanks to the £7500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant and 0% VAT the price for the heat pump, cylinder and 2 new radiators was similar to what I quoted for just a boiler.

A common misconception about heat pumps is all radiators need replacing. This often isn’t true: out of 12 radiators in this 5 bed detached I only replaced 2 in order to achieve a very respectable 45°C flow temperature.

My customer no longer had any gas appliances in the house so will be having their gas meter removed and the standing charge going too.

Not just any .uk aroTHERM Plus install in this is my own.

I fitted it almost a year ago and gave it a service today.

This last winter it has behaved flawlessly. Thanks to the gentle, continuous warmth the sensoCOMFORT weather compensated control provides the house has never been as comfortable. Even Mrs Smith was warm!

It has also been very economical to run with a reported efficiency figure of 460%. For every 1 unit of electricity it uses, 4.6 units of heat are put into the radiators.

The second picture is where my gas meter used to be. Our house is now gas free, thankfully we no longer have to pay the extortionate standing charge on our gas supply.

With a bit of help from solar and load shifting with battery storage our winter electric bills were just over £100 a month. This includes around 1200 EV miles a month too.

If you’re local to Bracknell and want to know more about heat pumps, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

The old boiler was on its last legs. As the house was already all underfloor heating we didn’t even need any radiator replacements. Fitting a plate heat exchanger to the hot water cylinder allowed us to reuse that too.

I will shortly be MCS registered and able to offer the £7500 boiler upgrade scheme grant to my customers.

boiler servicing in yesterday.

One of the many benefits of a weather compensated heating system is the boiler is almost always condensing. Alongside being super efficient and comfortable for the householder, the heat exchanger is almost self cleaning.

Vitodens 050-w system boiler and unvented cylinder installed in

My customers were finding their Worcester Greenstar Ri and Gledhill Boilermate troublesome and unreliable and decided it was time for a replacement.

The Joule Cyclone Platinum cylinder I fitted is a high gain. Alongside lightning quick re-heat times it is future heat pump ready.

As always with my installs the system is configured for priority hot water; this time with a Nest controlling the load compensated heating.

The 050 is a great boiler for the money and at only 30cm deep will fit in most kitchen cupboards.

Compliments to for the awesome Tube Lagger Pro as it makes all the difference.

Not the most photogenic as it was a very cosy space, this time in a loft conversion.

Vitodens 100-w 11kw system boiler and 150l high gain unvented cylinder.

The old Ideal ICOS M series had given nearly 20 years service but after another breakdown it was time for a replacement. As it is impossible to replace the cylinder without removing the boiler the customer decided he wanted us to replace the Megaflo too.

As always configured for priority hot water and also weather compensated for the ultimate in comfort and efficiency.

Full central heating system and unvented hot water cylinder installed for a delightful family in

The house had a very antiquated 1 pipe heating system and after another firm replaced their old boiler a lot of radiators sadly no longer worked. Not what you want at the beginning of winter!

As the family were doing a top to bottom renovation it was decided to replace the central heating and move the nearly new boiler to the loft. All radiators and pipework were sized for a future heat pump. In the mean time, the boiler’s efficiency is maximised as it’s always condensing when running the heating. All heating pipework run in copper. Vertical flue installed by specialist roofing firm

Once we started we discovered the galvanised steel plumbing pipes had a number of leaks and had seen better days. Not part of the original plan but this meant a re-pipe of the hot and cold pipes too. All in MLCP run off point to point manifolds.

Another tight squeeze replacing a leaking Ideal Logic. Vitodens 100-w combi installed in . Weather compensated for the ultimate in comfort and efficiency. Viessmann domestic gas boilers use stainless steel heat exchangers. They are significantly more durable than the previous boiler’s aluminium which leaked after only 5 years use.

This Netaheat Electronic is over 30 years old and is now good as new again after I fitted a new PCB and gave it a service. 👍
