Completed Project

The Farm

Architect: Fergus Scott Architecture
Builder: Join Constructions
Location: Gerroa, NSW
System: Integrated Heating System
Capacity: 40kW

Project brief/scope:

Hydronic underfloor heating
Pool heating
Spa heating
Potable hot water heating

CWL Group provided an alternative solution to a conventional heating system for an energy-conscious client with site-specific governing factors such as:

Mains natural gas not available and difficult site access for LPG delivery
Limited power supply due to the rural location
Plant and equipment location limitations

A cost-effective, efficient integrated hydronic heating system was designed and installed by CWL Group to overcome various site limitations using European high-efficiency air to water or air source heat pumps, installed in a cascade configuration producing 40kW heating capacity. With the original proposal of using LPG for the heating system, Join Constructions contacted CWL Group to provide an alternative, more energy-efficient approach, resulting in a future proof solution. The air source heat pumps are installed within a subterranean plant room with virtually invisible air registers to commensurate the architectural design of the home. Remote accessible monitoring, diagnosis and operating parameter control of the heat pumps ensures more cost-effective preventive maintenance and ongoing service of the system.

Over ten years on, and the homeowner is enjoying a comfortable and efficient heating system with year-round pool and spa heating, coupled with the benefits of a recently installed solar PV system further lowering operational costs. Read more, featured here in The Local Project.

Our Trusted Partners

We wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for your expertise and professionalism during our geo journey. Your patience and outstanding knowledge were visible along the way and greatly appreciated. Congratulations in assembling a team who have all been of the same high standard. It has been a pleasure to deal with all of you.

- Jenine Cranston and Douglas Fone, Artarmon, Sydney

We engaged CWL for the geothermal exchange and HVAC works on our unique project in Bellevue Hill and were selected based on pricing and their previous experience. It turned out to be the best choice in subcontractors we made for the whole project. Their professionalism, work ethic, expertise and willing to help wherever needed made a highly complex services installation that much easier, and more efficient than expected. I’d like to personally thank James and the site team who put the extra effort in at all times to get our project over the line with remarkable results. Highly recommended Subcontractors and mechanical consultants.

- Theo Elphick, Site Manager, Built

A culture of striving for excellence combined with motivated and dedicated staff is what defines CWL Group. Their workmanship is second to none and it is obvious that all of the staff care about what they do. Commitments are met and exceeded and there are no problems that can’t be resolved. I’m looking forward to working with Clayton and his team in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

- Annemarie Rodrigo, Bellevue Hill House Keeper

I want to thank CWL Group for the outstanding work in installing our hydronic heating system. I have worked with many plumbers over the years and I have never seen such a high standard of workmanship. They came in on time and on budget. I cannot recommend the team from CWL Group highly enough.
