The install
Off oil, into a properly sized heat pump.
The starting point. A family home in Evanton, on the Cromarty Firth north of Inverness, running on an oil boiler that was approaching end of life. The household demand wasn't subtle — heating and plenty of hot water for the kids, year-round, in a Highland climate.
What we installed. A Vaillant Arotherm Plus 12kW air source heat pump, sized and designed to deliver comfortable space heating and the volume of hot water the family actually uses. The old oil boiler and tank were decommissioned and removed.
The outcome. In Matthew and Victoria's own words in the video above — the house is always warm, and there's plenty of hot water for the kids.
“The house is always warm — plenty of hot water for the kids.”
