Case Study
Project overview
Mr. Humphreys partnered with us to upgrade his home’s heating system by replacing his old boiler with a more sustainable solution. This involved installing a 16 kW LG Therma V Air Source Heat Pump, providing highly effective and eco-friendly heating for his property. The new system uses renewable energy from the air to deliver consistent warmth and hot water, reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels. Additionally, Mr. Humphreys benefited from the £7500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme Voucher, which significantly offset the cost of the installation, making the transition to renewable heating more affordable.

Solution Provided
Solution Provided To help Mr. Humphreys achieve his goals of reducing energy costs and improving sustainability, we installed a 16 kW LG Therma V Air Source Heat Pump.
This advanced system replaced his outdated heating system and provides efficient, renewable heating and hot water by harnessing energy from the air. The heat pump operates with minimal environmental impact, significantly lowering his carbon footprint. This upgrade ensures consistent comfort throughout the year while helping Mr. Humphreys save on energy bills in the long term.
Installation Process
Our team meticulously planned and executed the project, ensuring minimal disruption to Mr. Humphrey’s daily life. Key steps included:
Initial Site Survey and Planning
Our dedicated team conducted a thorough site survey to assess Mr. Humphrey’s heating needs and identifies the most suitable location for the heat pump. This included evaluating the properties layout and ensuring the installation would maximize the systems efficiency. We also reviewed the existing heating system to plan for the removal of the old boiler and integration of the new heat pump with the home’s infrastructure.
Removal of Outdated System
The old boiler was carefully decommissioned and removed, ensuring that the space would be ready for the new installation. This step was done with minimal disruption to the home, and all waste materials were disposed of responsibly.
Heat Pump Installation
The 16 kW LG Therma V Air Source Heat Pump was installed outside the property, strategically placed to capture ambient air and operate efficiently throughout the year. The system was connected to the home’s heating and hot water system. ensuring a seamless transition from the old boiler set up to the new heat pump system.
System Calibration and Testing
Once the installation was complete, our technicians performed a full system calibration to ensure the heat pump was operating efficiently and providing the expected heating and hot water. We tested the system under various conditions to verify optimal performance, ensuring the property would be comfortable and the system would run cost-effectively.
Final Walkthrough and Handover
After the system passed all the tests, we conducted a final inspection to confirm everything was functioning correctly. We provided Mr Humphrey’s with a comprehensive walkthrough of the system, including instructions on how to monitor and control the heat pump. All relevant documentation, including warranty information and details on the boiler upgrade scheme, were handed over to Mr Humphrey’s. Our team also explained how to assess any further government incentives available to him.

Challenges and Solutions
Mr Humphreys encountered several challenges that prompted him to seek a more sustainable heating solution. His previous heating system, a traditional boiler, was inefficient, resulting in high energy costs and unreliable heating. He was committed to reducing his carbon footprint and wanted to move away from fossil fuel based heating in favor of a more eco-friendly option. While eager to switch to renewable energy, he was concerned about the high upfront cost of installing a new system.
To address these challenges, we installed the 16kW LG Therma V Air Source Heat Pump, which efficiently harnesses renewable energy from the air. This eco-friendly system provides consistent warmth and hot water while reducing reliance on fossil fuels, offering long-term savings and environmental benefits. The heat pump operates with minimal energy consumption, significantly lowering Mr Humphrey’s energy bills by replacing the inefficient boiler. It offers a reliable and sustainable heating source that ensures comfort all year round. To alleviate the financial concerns Mr Humphrey’s benefited from the £7500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which significantly reduced the installation costs, making the transition more accessible and affordable.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the installation of the 16 kW LG Therma V Air Source Heat Pump has provided Mr. Humphreys with a highly efficient, eco-friendly heating solution that aligns with his sustainability goals. The system has not only reduced his energy bills and carbon footprint but also ensured consistent comfort throughout the year. With the added benefit of the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme voucher, the transition to renewable heating was both cost-effective and accessible. This project highlights the long-term benefits of investing in sustainable technology, helping homeowners like Mr. Humphreys save money while reducing their environmental impact.
