Anthony Davies – Llanelli 12kw Vaillant arotherm + Heat Pump
A large detached property in Llanelli required a 12kw arotherm plus to heat the property and satisfy hot water.
One of the challenges we faced here was that the client had a new vaillant ecoTec gas boiler fitted two years ago and wanted to incorporate it into the install. A Hybrid system was the answer with the heat pump providing most of the energy needed to supply the heating and all the hot water. The boiler serves as a back up and a contributor to the heating if required at abnormally low temperatures.
Our client also benefited from a reduced tariff to run the heat pump thanks to Vaillants partnership with ovo energy making an efficient install even more cost effective to run.
What the client said:
“The fitting of a heat pump is a simple matter when it forms part of a new build however a retrofit to a 1950s three bedroom detached house is anything but simple
I was fortunate enough to contact Amgen Heating following a recommendation from the heat pump manufacturer Vaillant
They spent a considerable amount of care in calculating the heat required for each room and provided a detailed estimate which made use of the existing radiators as much as possible moving some from one room to another
A considerable amount of large bore piping was needed to replace the existing smaller bore and the integration of the existing gas boiler into the system together with the automatic controls for the system were carried out well and efficiently to create a heating system truly fit for the future more efficient and much cheaper to run than could be expected from a change from gas, the liking with solar panels only makes a bonus in running cost making it yet more effective
As to be expected it is expensive to install but it’s benefits far outweigh any cost
I must congratulate Amgen for the most efficient installation both in expertise and time taken in such a brilliant system
I have every reason to recommend them for all their work and experience in bringing my system on line and working so efficiently
Many Thanks Amgen my best wishes for the future”
