Energy-efficient heating designed for the future — installed by DJB Electrical Services – heat pump installers in Norfolk
Building a new home is the perfect opportunity to embrace modern, sustainable technologies that reduce running costs and carbon footprint from day one. Recently, the DJB Electrical team completed a full renewable Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installation at a beautiful new build property in Holt, North Norfolk — a project that showcases how future-ready heating can be integrated seamlessly into today’s construction.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the installation, the technology behind it, and what this renewable system means for long-term energy savings.
The homeowners contacted DJB Electrical during the planning stage of their new build, looking for a renewable, low-running-cost heating solution that would comply with upcoming UK regulations and help minimise energy bills.
After assessing the property’s layout, insulation level, and overall heating demand, our team recommended a high-efficiency Air Source Heat Pump system. This type of renewable heating is perfectly suited to well-insulated homes and is increasingly becoming the go-to choice for new builds across Norfolk.
High-performance Air Source Heat Pump unit
Fully integrated hot water cylinder
Smart heating controls for room-by-room efficiency
Professional insulated pipework and cabling
Outdoor unit optimised for Norfolk’s coastal climate
Full commissioning, testing, and certification
The result is a renewable heating system that offers steady, reliable warmth — even during Norfolk’s colder months.
ASHPs are becoming the leading choice for newly built homes, and for good reason.
For every 1kW of electricity used, the system can deliver 3kW of heat — dramatically reducing running costs compared to oil, LPG, or older electric systems.
Heat is drawn from the outside air, meaning the home uses far less fossil fuel and drastically reduces carbon emissions.
New builds often feature underfloor heating or oversized radiators — both ideal for heat pump efficiency.
Because DJB Electrical is MCS certified, the homeowners remain eligible for any new government incentives or energy grants in the future.
We calculated the property’s exact heat load to ensure the system was perfectly matched to the home. Correct sizing is essential for efficient heat pump performance.
The ASHP was installed in a discreet but well-ventilated location at the rear of the property. We ensured optimum airflow and added insulated pipework to protect against Holt’s coastal weather.
Inside the property, we installed the hot water cylinder, buffer tank, and safety components. The system was connected to the property’s underfloor heating loops.
Our qualified electricians handled all electrical connections, including:
Dedicated electrical supply
Load demand management
Safety isolators
Smart controls and thermostats
We ran performance checks, balanced the heating system, and ensured the homeowners understood how to make the most of their new renewable system.
Thanks to low-temperature heating and high insulation standards in this new build, the homeowners can expect:
Up to 60% lower heating bills compared to oil
Reduced carbon emissions for the lifetime of the property
Reliable hot water supply year-round
Increased EPC rating, boosting long-term property value
Heat pumps also require minimal maintenance — ideal for busy households or holiday homes in North Norfolk.
Holt and surrounding villages — including Cley, Blakeney, Weybourne, and Kelling — have seen a surge in new build properties. Many are embracing renewable technologies to:
Meet modern building regulations
Reduce reliance on oil and LPG
Improve energy performance
Avoid rising fuel costs
With Norfolk’s coastal climate and plentiful airflow, heat pumps work efficiently throughout the year.
