Winster Mews, High Peak
This project at Winster Mews reflects exactly what TaskEnergy stands for: practical, efficient, resident-focused solutions that deliver measurable impact. Working in partnership with the Norse Group, we replaced an outdated electric heating system with a modern air source heat pump (ASHP), improving comfort, performance, and long-term sustainability in a fully occupied domestic property.
Objectives
The goal was clear: remove inefficient electric storage heaters and a Fortic hot water cylinder, and replace them with a tailored ASHP solution. The system was designed around a 55°C flow temperature and a calculated heat load of just under 7kW (potentially reduced to 5kW with fabric improvements).
Client: Norse Group
Sector: Domestic
Duration: 5 days
Challenges
A number of important factors shaped this project:
Live residential environment:
The property was fully occupied, meaning works had to be planned to ensure minimal disruption and maintain live services throughout.
Outdated infrastructure:
The transition from electric storage heating to a full wet system involved significant internal upgrades.
Hot water continuity:
The client required uninterrupted access to hot water during the installation.
Our solution
Our approach combined detailed planning with hands-on delivery:
-
A full survey was undertaken to assess property needs and capture client requirements. Heat loss calculation and review. Development of tailored heating system design, issuance of a project pack with full scope and cost breakdown.
-
We removed the old electric storage heating system and installed a custom efficient modern ASHP solution, improved heating performance and comfort. This provided greater control over indoor temperatures and enhanced comfort and system usability.
-
The property was fully occupied so maintaining live services throughout the install was essential. This was managed through careful sequencing of works and early prioritisation of hot water delivery.
-
2 experienced heat pump engineers and an electrician delivered the full 5-day install efficiently and respectfully.

Innovation & Efficiency
Keeping services live in an occupied property was a key consideration. Through early planning and strategic sequencing, we maintained essential utilities throughout the project. The result is a home that’s not only warmer but smarter, equipped with an efficient system that fits the resident’s lifestyle and future-proofs the property.
“TaskEnergy were reliable and professional throughout the heat pump installation, keeping residents updated each day and ensuring a smooth, low-disruption process. The clear handover meant tenants were left confident in using their new system, giving us full trust in TaskEnergy’s quality and delivery.” – Antony Ballone, Project Manager at Norse Group on behalf of High Peak Council
