Vaillant heat pump install in Ardleigh, near Colchester

The Installio team has just fitted a new Vaillant heat pump in a 3 bed bungalow in Ardleigh, near Colchester.

The customer wanted to get rid of their old oil boiler and move to a modern heating system. A heat pump means a low carbon home that is cheaper to heat.

Summary

Heat pump model: 7kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus

Heating controls: Vaillant sensoCOMFORT

Design flow temperature: 50°C

Technical specification

Our team designed a heat pump-powered heating system tailored to the customer’s home. We conducted a detailed survey, assessing the existing heating system and the home's construction. This allowed us to determine its heat retention capabilities and identify the most suitable heat pump to keep them warm even on the coldest winter days.

To integrate the heat pump, we retrofitted it to the home’s existing heating system. This involved installing new components within the existing pipework while retaining radiators where possible. Where necessary, we upgraded radiators to ensure optimal efficiency, guaranteeing warmth even in the depths of winter.

A popular choice is the Vaillant aroTHERM Plus, one of the most efficient heat pumps available. It’s user-friendly, quiet, and operates with the latest natural refrigerant, R290, allowing it to reach high temperatures when needed while being more environmentally friendly.

To enhance control and efficiency, the Vaillant sensoCOMFORT controller optimizes heating based on outdoor temperatures through weather compensation. This smart, internet-connected system maximizes heat pump efficiency, allows remote control via an app, and enables access to heat pump-specific energy tariffs—helping homeowners save even more.
