A couple from Estonia decided to use renewable energy and installed an Inverter Mini, Thermia’s latest and most advanced inverter-driven ground source heat pump. Using heat pumps is an innovative and creative way of taking action to protect the environment and is a solution that will contribute positively to reducing CO2 emissions in the years to come.
‘...one of the best heat pumps in its segment, the Inverter Mini is ideally suited to wooden houses and a green lifestyle…‘
However after speaking to Mike & Conor, arranging site visits and Kitchen Thermia Atec Plus unit and a 180 litre domestic hot water cylinder Thermia Atec 16 kW air source heat pump viewing our plans they assured us the Thermia air source heat pump system was the way to go.
For such a large house the heating system was a big factor and a decision that was not made lightly. However having Mike & Conor O’Brien on board
made the process so much easier. As Ashgrove installers they came highly recommended and were a great asset to the planning and designing process. The client fell in love with the idea of unlimited hot water and constant heating 24/7.
As we have quite a large home we were concerned that we would not be able to find a heating system to meet our needs.
The project was one of a kind. It is a 5,600 square foot (520 m2) period house built in 1840. The couple had moved into the house in 2005 and the previous heating system was gas and an Aga-kerosine stove which heated the ground and first floor. Previously, the basement hadn’t been renovated or heated. The couple had decided on a complete renovation and wanted to open up the basement area to increase their living space as the family was growing.

“We have no regrets! It has been a smooth process. This is an efficent and effortless source of heating. Dealing with Mike and Conor O’Brien was a pleasure and were always available if needed.” - says Ian
Ashgrove’s team of experts specified, designed and sized the heat pump using Thermia Heat Pump Calculator software.
This 185 sqm bungalow was built in 2016. It is completely heated by underfloor heating. A 9kW Atec air source heat pump with a Total 180 litre cylinder has been running since March 2017.
“I’m very happy with the system. The consistent heat is great and the house is so comfortable I am delighted. I am starting another build in the near future and we will certainly be back to O’Brien Brothers and Ashgrove. Mike has been very helpful and is always contactable. It has been hassle free.” Noel Costello
