Riverview

A renovation of a cottage.

First ‘proper’ Crimbo in the house

By ferg at 9:00 am on Thursday, December 24, 2009

Well the wood is piled up in the fireplace, the goose is chilling (in the frigid air from the air source heat pump!), the utility room is stacked full of food, so I guess our first Christmas in River View is upon us. Technically speaking it’s our second Christmas, but since all the food was cooked in the other house last year, I guess that does not properly count!

Here’s a few obvious pictures from the last few days. Quite picturesque, and it’s actually helped us test out the heating of the house, and have a few insulation glitches sorted out.

Nice layer of snow on the office and the house, that’s testament to a fine job on the insulation front. Glad to see all is well at Ferg Towers.

Hi, we’ve just bought an old place near Cambridge with an ancient oil boiler and very little insulation (although Eon are coming to hopefully sort that out). I’ve been interested by your choice of an air source heat pump, and would love to know how it’s all working at the moment! How noisy is it in practise?

The air source heat pump works well. Even during this time of cold it’s not that noisy outside at all. On full the inside units can be noisy, but on low you do not know they are on at all. I’d be happy for you to come and have a gander.
