Crabtree Lodge

This state-of-the-art eco home was built with energy saving in mind. The rear half of the property was built into a hillside and insulated to a very high standard to minimise heating demand.

Lee Brown and Andrew Hubble, ex-owners of Coefficient Renewable Heating Solutions and now Technical Systems Engineers at IMS Heat Pump, installed a ground source heat pump to provide the ultimate low carbon heating & hot water solution as well as underfloor heating throughout the house.

Facts:

• Danfoss DHP-L Opti 10kW heat pump
• 600m ground loop
• 300 litre hot water cylinder
• Underfloor heating installed throughout the house

Results:

• Annual fuel savings of 40% compared to alternative oil-fired system
• Renewable Heat Incentive payment of £3000 per year
• Carbon Dioxide emissions reduced by 2800kg per year
