Residential houses with garden

Air-source heat pumps and rewired electrics for the houses of La Piovera

In a quiet residential setting beside the park, we modernise the technical installations of houses with their own gardens without disrupting daily life at home.

Housing type in La Piovera

Detached housing, beside Parque de La Piovera

La Piovera is an established detached-housing district, with houses and townhouses with their own gardens, mostly built between the 1980s and 90s. These are family homes, designed to be lived in for many hours a day, with gas heating that in many cases is still the original installation. The size of the plot and independence from any residents' association allow work to be carried out freely, both on the roof and in the garage, which makes a heat pump or EV charging project much easier here than it would be in a flat. Typical technical demand in the area combines energy efficiency with the comfort of a house that gets heavy year-round use.

Climate control

Air-source heat pump and underfloor heating for the whole house

We replace the original gas boiler with an air-source heat pump system that covers heating, cooling and hot water with much lower electricity consumption, making use of space on the plot or roof to site the outdoor unit without affecting the most-used parts of the garden.

Underfloor heating and cooling distributes warmth and coolness evenly across the whole floor, with no grilles or indoor units in sight, and combines with good insulation to significantly cut energy costs compared with a traditional radiator system.

Electrical

Charging point and power for a house with a garage

With a private garage, we install the EV charging point in accordance with ITC-BT-52, first checking the contracted power and the state of the consumer unit so the charger can run alongside the rest of the house's electrics without issue.

We renew indoor and garden lighting with low-consumption LEDs, and add smart-home features to automate irrigation, outdoor lighting and household scenes from a single system.

A common case in La Piovera

In La Piovera houses with gas heating more than fifteen years old, running costs in the winter months are often much higher than they would be for the same house with a heat pump. This is usually spotted when comparing consumption with similar, already-renovated houses in the area. We assess the feasibility of the switch before proposing any works.

Zoned smart-home air conditioning in a townhouse

Cause: La Piovera's townhouses often have several floors with independent fan coils or ducts per level, installed without any shared control between them.
Effect: Without real zoning, the whole house ends up being air-conditioned just to condition a single floor, at the corresponding energy cost.
Prevention: Define the home's thermal zones by floor and use before programming any control system.
ANNA's diagnosis: ANNA designs floor-by-floor thermal zoning and integrates control of every existing fan coil or duct into a single system.
