Mansion replaces oil boiler with heat pump
The Guardian
|January 17, 2024
Over the years Kingston Lacy, which was built to resemble a Venetian palace, has been kept warm and dry with open fires, and coal and oil boilers.
Now a "pioneering" ground source heat pump has been installed to protect the spectacular Dorset country mansion and its collection of paintings by masters such as Velázquez, Titian and Rubens.
The new system should help preserve the art collection by providing a steady, gentle heat without spikes and dips in temperature, as well as saving 30,000 litres of oil each year.
It is one of the National Trust's biggest heat pump projects to date, and the first high-temperature ground source system it has installed.
