Key Points:

• Supply of heating and 1600 litres of hot water
• 14kW air source heat pump to replace electric heating system
• Significant reduction in running costs

The Royal Agricultural College Sports Club needed a replacement boiler for heating and hot water. The exisiting electric heating was inadequate and they wanted to reduce their costs. Ecovision advised and designed a system capable of supplying heating and hot water using an air source heat pump. The system had to not only provide heating for the clubhouse but also ensure that there was sufficient hot water for the two rugby teams and their oppositions to have a shower after their matches.

The system installed used the existing heating loop and is now so efficient the temperature had to be turned down as the water for the showers was too hot!

“The running costs are in the region of 70% less than they were with the original electric system.”
