Gas boiler out, heat pump in in three days in Enfield
We replaced an old gas boiler in Enfield EN3 with a 7kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump and a new hot water cylinder, in three days on site. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant was approved within 48 hours of the application. The owner is retired and wanted lower running costs without a long disruption. Three days is what a straightforward boiler swap to a heat pump takes when the survey has done its job.
The outdoor unit stands on rubber anti-vibration blocks on the existing patio slabs rather than on a new concrete base, against the rear fence and next to the drainage the house already had. The defrost water has somewhere to go, and nobody had to dig up the garden. Inside, the new cylinder went into the cupboard the old boiler's hot water came from, so no new space had to be found. The controller is at eye height, and the valves are grouped where an engineer can reach them without taking anything apart.
We applied for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant on the owner's behalf and it came back approved in two days. The grant comes off the price before you pay; you never claim it back yourself.
