Case study: executive new build development in Bedfordshire adopts air source heat pump technology
A case study on a flagship installation at a new high-spec development in Wootton.
Bradbury Plumbers, the contractors for the development, completed the first system installation on Plot 1, demonstrating the practical application of renewable heating technology in high-specification residential properties.
"The CTC EcoAir AB 700 series unit represents the latest generation of air source heat pump technology, designed to deliver efficient heating and hot water throughout the year, even in demanding conditions." The integration with the Joule cylinder provides the homeowner with reliable hot water storage, while the CTC controller ensures optimal system performance and user-friendly operation.
Project collaboration
Darran Burrage, commercial director at Go Geothermal Ltd, said: “Seeing the CTC EcoAir AB 700 series up and running on Plot 1, working in conjunction with a Joule cylinder and the CTC controller all supplied by Go Geothermal, demonstrates what can be achieved when quality products meet expert installation.
“The next plot should be completed this year, which offers the homeowner many years of renewable heating and hot water. More executive plots are scheduled to have heat pumps fitted in the new year, which is pleasing to see.”
Joe Bradbury of Bradbury Plumbers emphasized the crucial role of technical support throughout the project: “This heat pump installation was a landmark project for us, it’s top end technology and it’s been a real learning curve to understand.
“The design support from Go Geothermal was key to getting this installation sorted. Darran helped us all along the way with upfront designs and timely information at the pre-sales phase, adapted to exactly what we needed.
“The teething problems in the design phase were quickly sorted. We worked very closely together, and I’ve known Darran for a long time. He was key to bringing the CTC brand on board for us and changing our way of thinking about heat pumps. This is a development project for the next nine months at the housing estate, with two more installations to go in, and I’m definitely keen to see how these systems perform going forward.”
Future Development
The Wootton development represents a commitment to renewable heating technology in the new build sector. Each installation will provide homeowners with an efficient, low-carbon heating solution designed to deliver comfort and performance for decades to come.
The project highlights the growing adoption of heat pump technology in premium residential developments, where homeowners increasingly expect both luxury specifications and environmental responsibility.
