Barn Conversion Heating in Sutton Valence
A highly efficient air source heat pump and underfloor heating system, paired with mechanical ventilation, delivers sustainable comfort for a Sutton Valence barn conversion.
For this project, we installed a Vaillant Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP), providing a sustainable heating solution for both the ground and first floors. The system is paired with an advanced underfloor heating setup designed for maximum efficiency and comfort.
On the ground floor, we laid our underfloor heating pipework at 100mm to 150mm centres, ensuring even heat distribution. This was then covered with a standard liquid screed, which enhances thermal conductivity and improves overall system performance.
For the first floor, we used a triple-pipe aluminium spreader tray system, fixed to the underside of the existing floorboards. This design allows for direct heat transfer into the boards, enabling optimum outputs at low temperatures—perfect for improving energy efficiency while maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.
To further enhance indoor air quality and energy efficiency, we installed a Mitsubishi Lossnay 500 MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) unit, connected to Domus rigid ductwork. This system ensures continuous fresh air circulation while recovering heat from outgoing air, reducing heat loss and improving the overall efficiency of the home.
By combining air source heat pump technology, underfloor heating, and mechanical ventilation, this barn conversion benefits from a highly efficient heating system with an excellent SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance).
