As a large 5 bedroom detached property with 4 adults of working age and 1 in further education, their water demand was great. There was a need to provide large quantities of hot running water in the most economically viable method.

Work undertaken

Four collectors were installed on the South West facing roof with a pitch of 35° supplied by gas boiler and electrical immersion the existing 36L hot water tank was replaced with a 250L tank.
