WHY BUY NEW
There’s something special about being the first person to call a house home. But buying new is about much more than fresh paint and untouched rooms.
From energy efficiency and modern technology to thoughtful layouts and less maintenance, a new Harron home is designed around life today – so you can spend less time worrying about your home and more time enjoying it.
THE NEW BUILD DIFFERENCE
Designed to use less energy
Modern insulation, high performance glazing and more efficient heating systems help keep warmth where you want it – inside your home. That can mean less energy used and lower running costs compared with many older properties.
MADE FOR MODERN LIFE
Open plan kitchens, useful storage, dedicated utility spaces on selected house types and layouts designed around how we actually live. No knocking walls through or trying to make somebody else's home work for you.
LESS TO WORRY ABOUT
No ageing boiler to replace. No decades old windows. No discovering what the previous owner covered up behind the wallpaper. Your home, fixtures and fittings are all brand new, giving you more time to enjoy it rather than renovate it.
YOUR HOME, YOUR STYLE
Depending on when you reserve, you may be able to choose from a range of finishes and options to put your stamp on your home before you've even picked up the keys.
WATT A SAVE
Buying new isn't only about how your home looks. How it performs can make a real difference to everyday living.
New research from the Home Builders Federation and Octopus Energy shows just how significant that difference can be.
GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR HEATING
Set it and leave it
Once your home is at a comfortable temperature, try not to keep adjusting it. Your heat pump is designed to maintain a steady temperature throughout the day, so you don't need to regularly turn it up and down.
Turning the temperature higher won't heat your home more quickly – give the system time to do its job.
Expect a gentler heat
Your radiators may not feel as hot as they would with a traditional boiler. This is completely normal.
A heat pump uses a lower, more consistent temperature to gradually warm your home, rather than delivering short bursts of very hot water to your radiators.
Keep it running consistently
Avoid regularly switching your heating system on and off. Your heat pump is designed to work efficiently over longer periods, maintaining the temperature of your home rather than repeatedly allowing it to cool down and heating it back up again.
HOT WATER
Your air source heat pump also heats the water stored in your hot water cylinder, ready for you to use around your home.
Your hot water is already set up for you, so you shouldn’t normally need to make any changes. If you use a large amount of hot water, simply allow the cylinder a little time to heat the water again.
Leave the settings as they are
The Panasonic control panel near your hot water cylinder manages your hot water settings. We recommend leaving the pre set settings unchanged unless advised otherwise, as changing them could affect how your system performs.
A weekly heating cycle is normal
Your system will automatically heat the stored water to a higher temperature once a week as part of its normal sterilisation cycle. You don't need to do anything when this happens.
