Working Together – Neil Jamieson and Precise Installs
Sick of spending a fortune on central heating, our client, Neil Jamieson called on Precise to design, develop and deliver a bespoke, state of the art system that would help him cut his bills and suit his big, detached country home. This work is Stage One in Neil’s plans to go self-sufficient by adding solar panels and battery storage at a later date.
The Client
Neil Jamieson’s home is just outside Strathaven, in a place called Chapelton. His big, detached country home was previously heated using an oil-fired boiler. Not surprisingly, with the cost of fuel as it is, Neil was getting tired of his huge heating bills and decided it was time for a change. He made the great decision of going for a renewable option.
The Problem
The thing with big country houses is that they can be draughty, quirky and complicated when it comes to plumbing. That’s why this job was one for the experts – which is perfect for us at Precise. William, one of our Directors is known by his peer group as being someone who has a keen eye for finding great solutions to complex heating problems, and loves nothing more than a challenge, so this was right up his street.
The Solution
This job wasn’t your ‘run of the mill’ heating job where we were replacing an old boiler with a new one. It was very much a build from scratch solution that had to respect the integrity of the building and take into account the Net Zero objectives we’re working towards.
Faced with huge oil bills, the client wanted a solution that would save him money in the long run and one that would help him feel he was doing his bit for the environment.
We started with a blank sheet and designed a 100% bespoke heating system which met MCS regulations. It wasn’t easy, but we did it by combining creative thinking with state-of-the-art technology, such as the Vaillant Air Source Heat pump.
The client now has a heating system that’s environmentally friendly and will save him money by working efficiently and smartly in his old home. As we see it, this is great mix of old and new working together to maximum effect – for everyone.
Client Feedback
We asked Neil:
What do you think of your new heatpumps? – and here’s what he had to say
“They are sh*t hot. They have been saving me a fortune. I was sceptical at first as I had heard mixed reviews, but I definitely made the right choice in the end. I had been told due to the age of the property that a heat pump would not be suitable. However Precise showed that when the system is properly designed and installed, heat pumps can be great. My hot water is fantastic, and the house is more comfortable than it has ever been”
How did you find the installation process? “There’s no doubt about it that this was a big job. However, from design to installation, William at Precise took care of it all. The Precise Installs installation team were great too. The work was done when agreed and finished to a high standard”
We never take any of our clients for granted and as always, were delighted to have been asked to quote for and carry out this challenging job.
