Case Study – Air Source Heat Pump Installation
Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, May, 2026
Project Overview
Star Green Heating was commissioned to design and install a complete heating system for a new build property in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. The objective was to deliver an energy-efficient, future-proof solution that would provide consistent heating and hot water throughout the home.
Our Solution
We installed a fully integrated renewable heating system designed specifically for the property layout and heating requirements.
The installation included:
✅ Vaillant aroTHERM Plus 5kW Air Source Heat Pump for efficient, low-carbon heating
✅ Hot water cylinder for reliable domestic hot water
✅ Buffer tank to optimise system performance
✅ Vaillant sensoCOMFORT controls for easy and precise system management
✅ Underfloor heating installed across the ground floor
✅ Radiators installed on the first floor, correctly sized for low-temperature operation
This hybrid heating approach ensures optimal efficiency while maintaining comfort across both levels of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes—new build properties are perfect for air source heat pumps as they are well insulated and allow the heating system to be designed for maximum efficiency from the outset.
-
Yes—this is a common and effective setup. Underfloor heating works well on ground floors, while radiators can be used upstairs when correctly sized for low-temperature systems.
-
The Vaillant aroTHERM Plus offers excellent efficiency, quiet operation, and reliable heating even in colder conditions. It uses natural refrigerant technology and helps reduce energy usage and emissions.
-
In many cases, yes. A buffer tank helps improve system efficiency and stability by regulating flow and reducing cycling, particularly in systems with multiple heating zones.
-
Heat pumps are highly efficient in new build homes due to modern insulation standards and system design. This results in lower energy usage and consistent indoor comfort.
