The single phase electricity supply limited the size of heat pump, so Lee Brown and Andrew Hubble specified a 12kW ground source system which was installed alongside an oil-fired auxiliary boiler.
CASE STUDY
Ground source heat pump installation for Sydnope Stand
GRT Architects required a heating solution for the exciting renovation and extension of this Victorian folly.
Case Study Facts:
- Danfoss DHP-L Opti 12kW single phase heat pump
- 3 boreholes at 108m depth
- Fully automated oil boiler auxiliary boiler, controlled by the heat pump
Case Study Results:
- The heat pump provides 85% of the heating load, reducing running costs by £1000 per year compared to an oil-only system
