ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE HEATING SOLUTION WAS FOUND FOR THIS 16TH
CENTURY HOME rising heat
Looking at the benefits of installing an air source heat pump for off-gas locations, by Daikin Airconditioning UK Ltd.
When Gareth and Emma Jordan and their three young children bought two virtually derelict cottages in the heart of the Kent countryside, they assumed they would have little choice but to heat the property with an oil- fired central heating system. It wasn’t until someone suggested using an air source heat pump that they realized there was an environmentally sustain- able and cost effective solution to heating their 16th
Century dream home. The two cottages, which were originally a bakery and the baker’s cot- Enq. 148
tage, had been unoccupied for two years and had never had any form of central heating. Situated at the end of a private track in the beautiful rolling hills around Cranbrook, and close to the mill which would have provided flour for the bakery, the potentially idyllic cottage had no gas supply. It looked as though the family would have to install an oil fired sys- tem, which would not only have been expensive to run with the additional hassle of having to order the heating oil, but would also have had a high carbon emission impact, something they were keen to avoid if possible.
