Leap ASHP Installation


INTRODUCTION


TF Energy recently undertook a transformative project in the Bristol City area as part of the Bristol City Leap initiative under the HUGS1 scheme. The

project involved the installation of an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) alongside a new wet heating system and radiators, aimed at replacing existing electric radiators and hot water cylinder. With a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, TF Energy ensured that the installation complied with MCS and all regional electrical and building regulations. The project not only delivered significant energy savings but also contributed to the property's carbon reduction, aligning with the net zero carbon building standard goal.

THE CLIENT

The project's client, a property owner in the Bristol City area, sought to upgrade their heating system to a more sustainable and energy-efficient solution.



They were keen to reduce their reliance on conventional electric radiators and embrace a greener alternative, aligning with the city's commitment to sustainability through the Bristol City Leap initiative. With TF Energy's reputation for delivering top-quality renewable energy solutions, the client chose us to handle the ASHP installation and heating system upgrade for their property.

THE PROBLEM

The property's existing electric radiators and hot water cylinder were energy-intensive and costly to operate, leading to high utility bills and an increased carbon footprint. The client recognized the need for a more environmentally friendly and economical heating solution that would contribute to the city' s net zero carbon building standard goal. Additionally, they aimed to enhance overall comfort and heating efficiency within the property while reducing their environmental impact.

THE SOLUTION

TF Energy proposed the installation of an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) coupled with a new wet heating system and radiators to replace the inefficient electric radiators and hot water cylinder. The ASHP, being a renewable energy technology, extracts heat from the external air and transfers it indoors, providing efficient heating for the property. The new wet heating system and radiators would ensure optimal heat distribution and comfort throughout the space.


The installation was executed with precision, complying with MCS and all regional electrical and building regulations, guaranteeing both safety and efficiency. With the ASHP's capability to reduce energy consumption by up to 78% compared to conventional electric radiators, the client was assured of significant energy savings and reduced utility costs. Furthermore, the implementation of the ASHP contributed to lowering the property's carbon emissions, aligning with the city's net zero carbon building standard goal and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Summary
The ASHP installation project in Bristol under the HUGS1 scheme exemplifies TF Energy's commitment to delivering sustainable and energy-efficient

solutions. By replacing the property's conventional electric radiators and hot water cylinder with an Air Source Heat Pump and a new wet heating system, the client enjoyed substantial energy savings and reduced utility costs. TF Energy's adherence to MCS and regional regulations ensured a safe and compliant installation, while the ASHP's efficiency contributed to the property's carbon reduction, aligning with the net zero carbon building standard goal of the Bristol City Leap initiative. This case study highlights TF Energy's capability to provide innovative and eco-friendly heating solutions, empowering clients to embrace sustainability while enjoying enhanced comfort and economic benefits.
