After suffering from years of poor heating performance, the owner of a five-bedroom, barn conversation property located in the stunning area of Newquay, Cornwall, decided it was time to switch out their existing heat pump system for a new Ariston NIMBUS Pocket 150 air source heat pump (ASHP). The new ASHP was installed by Ariston partner, BoilerTech.
An easy-to-install system
The installation process involved a complete rehaul of the old ASHP, including a rewiring of the system, set-up of zoning in the house and the installation of the new Ariston ASHP and associated controls. BoilerTech, a long-standing Ariston partner covering the whole of Cornwall, was called in to take on the project.
Andy Griffiths, Heating Engineer for BoilerTech, commented: “This is our first installation of an Ariston heat pump system. We were extremely impressed with how easy the whole process was and the homeowner was really pleased with the final installation.”
Dean Reynolds from BoilerTech continued: “The family had even considered replacing the existing pump with a gas boiler because they had suffered with years of poor performance from the original system. However, with a complete overhaul of the wiring and zoning for the new heat pump, the homeowner is over the moon.”
The NIMBUS Pocket M NET R32 was the heat pump of choice due to its high efficiency and low environmental impact. Its modern and innovative design is the result of thorough consultation with professionals and allows for flexibility when it comes to diverse installation needs. Using Eco Refrigerant R32, it produces low noise levels up to 53dB(A), a power range between 1.7 to 17.7kW and can be remotely managed with the Ariston NET app.
Potential savings
The property will now benefit from better heating performance and excellent thermal comfort for the family. The efficiencies gained from the right installation and zoning mean the homeowner could expect to see energy and cost savings of up to 20% when compared to the old system.
Homeowner Tony Green, commented: “Having had experience of living with a heat pump in various properties over the last 12 years, I feel I’m qualified to say the Ariston heat pump has surpassed my expectations. The Nimbus Net R32 really is everything they say it is; energy efficient, extremely quiet, powerful, controllable. The Ariston Net app not only allows me to be in control remotely but I’m able to monitor consumption in real time as well.
“Massive thank you to Matt at Ariston and Dean & Andy at BoilerTech. Their ability to problem solve, integrating the heat pump to my existing system was superb. Extremely professional from start to finish.”
