Approximate energy savings:

- Heating costs approx £270/year (heating oil consumption reduced to fewer than 500 litres a year)
- Car travel approx 350 miles range for the cost of a gallon of petrol
Benefits:
Lower running costs and lower carbon footprint
Considerations:
- ASHP rejected for noise pollution and disruption to house
- Battery storage rejected for cost, reliability and too long a payback time
