Boyd residence
Co. Dublin

This project – a 6 Bed 400 sqm Modern Family Residence – was carried out in February 2015. Mr Boyd was renovating his Dormer Bungalow and contacted Diverse Energy to enquire if a heat pump system would deliver a cost effective alternative to suit his requirements. Dessie had an oil fired boiler which was removed. After surveying the property, we confirmed the appropriate system for his application would be an Altherma Low Temperature (LT) heat pump system. Dessie installed under floor heating in the kitchen, utility, boot room and family room. High efficient aluminium radiators were installed throughout the rest of the ground and first floors. The indoor unit is located in the hot press and the outdoor unit is located at the gable end of the dwelling as seen in the photo gallery.

The installation consisted of a Low Temperature integrated indoor unit which also has a 280 litre hot water cylinder, complete with motorised valves, zone thermostats, and 12 aluminium energy efficient radiators. This system is 30% more efficient than our High Temperature (HT) system and is ideal for underfloor heating, renovations, and new builds. Our aim as always to maintain a temperature of between 19/22’c and avoid large temperature swings within the property. Since installing his Altherma LT system it operates 24/7 during the heating season. In summer time the heating cycle is off, however hot water production is maintained.

Dessie & Nicola have no other form of heating in their home and operate solely on the Altherma LT system installed. They have a constant warm home throughout winter increasing the comfort of their home and wellbeing of their family. Nicola & Dessie have substantially reduced their carbon footprint which is essential for the environment. This will be a requirement most homes will need to address in the near future. By investing in Diverse Energy Nicola & Dessie have substantially reduced running cost in heating their home and now enjoy substantial savings into the future.
