Commencing on an ASHP Installation Process
I received the BUS Grant permission email yesterday evening, which I've returned confirming my consent to the process, so we're definitely moving from the theory part of the exercise to the execution now.
We've already started the task of clearing some space in the more problematic parts of the house to enable the relevant access for the installation. The old airing cupboard is no longer a dumping ground for suitcases, towels, etc and can now house a cylinder once again. The loft has had something of a clear-out, with items being relocated to the tip or charity shop and we've dismantled a huge self-built desk that the previous owner had left us in an upstairs bedroom, which has been useful in it's time, but takes up far more of the room than it needs to. We'll replace it with a smaller one after the installation, but the radiator in that room, which was the most challenging one for the surveyors to get access to for measurement, is now fully accessible.
We're weeks away from an installation, but its quite a relief to get these jobs out of the way at an early stage. Everything else will be relatively minor in comparison, but can only really be done close to the time as their in rooms which are in constant use.
