5kW heat pump install in Colchester, Essex

We installed a Vaillant air source heat pump in a 3 bed end-terrace house, in Colchester, Essex.

The customer's old heating system was over 15 years old and failing. So it was time to upgrade to a modern high performance heat pump.

While installing the heat pump we also upgraded the rest of the heating system including pipework and insulation.
