Specifications
Axis undertook an air source heat pump (ASHP) installation under a renewables contract for social housing residents in Braintree, Essex.
• Strip out and removal of unit • Fit unvented cylinder • Build new concrete base for new unit • Fit out internal pipework • Electrical works • New ASHP installation
The properties owned and managed by our client Eastlight Community Homes, consists of 3 family homes and 1 bungalow for an elderly resident. The original ASHP was outdated and lacked system controls, limiting the ability to operate reliably within optimal temperature ranges and the units were very noisy. Axis conducted property surveys to evaluate heat loss, radiator adequacy, and pipework needs, producing reports with performance projects based on Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data to create a custom design. This included enhanced heating zones, expanded pipework and larger radiators. Axis’ Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) team stripped out the old units, constructed a new base for the ASHP, upgraded internal pipework and connected electrical works. Vaillant aroTHERM, uniSTOR heat pump unvented cylinder, buffer unit and sensoCOMFORT (user controls, remote control, temperature sensor and thermostats) were installed.
