Blossom Hill, Lake District

An energy efficient solution

Our Blossom Hill development situated on the edge of the lake district national park encompasses all the ingredients of todays modern homes. We decided Joule’s intergration of Smartplumb cylinder, Samsung heatpump and UFH complimented the develpoment perfectly, providing each property with an efficent, renewable heating and hot water system.

Smart Plumb System

Willan choose to install a smart plumb system. The smartplumb buffer system comes complete with an integral. This ensures you have superior flow rates, better performance in defrost and an all round more efficient system. The buffer volume allows the heatpump to carry out its defrost cycle, “when the heatpump outside gets near freezing temperatures it takes some of the heat from the pipework inside and uses it to heat up the outside unit”. With the buffer built into the footprint of the cylinder less space is needed. No other system on the market today offers this flexibility.

Running Cost

According to Energy Saving Trust figures for the year to April 2020, heating oil averaged 4.8p per kWh. While gas cost 4.2p and LPG cost 7.2p. By contrast, standard-rate electricity cost 16.4p per kWh, while off-peak electricity averaged 9.8p. Heating oil prices are a little higher than mains gas – but it’s important to consider the environmental impact, too. Oil is a fossil fuel and one of the worst polluting energy sources. The Energy Saving Trust calculates that one kilowatt-hour of energy from gas results in 208g of carbon dioxide (CO2) being released. For LPG this is 241g, and for heating oil it rises to 298g – that’s 43% more than gas! For a heat pump system like the one installed at Blossom Hill every 1 kWh of energy input = 4 kWh in energy output. This is an energy efficiency ratio of more than 400%, which is far superior to high energy efficiency boiler systems. Think about it like this: For every one pound of electricity you put in to a heat pump you get four pound worth of heat back.
