Bewdley's riverside is one of the best-preserved Georgian streetscapes in the Midlands, and one of the most flood-prone. Temporary barriers go up along the Severn when the river rises. Up the hill and out towards the Wyre Forest, the houses are more rural, and many aren't on mains gas.
Severnside and Wribbenhall
Homes along the river, on both the Bewdley and Wribbenhall banks, need an installation that allows for flooding. That means the outdoor unit high on a wall bracket, the electrical isolator above likely water levels, and pipework routed up, not along the ground.
Off-gas homes towards the Wyre Forest
In Far Forest, Callow Hill and Rock, many homes heat with oil or LPG. A reversible air conditioning system is an air-to-air heat pump, and it can heat a lounge or a couple of bedrooms in spring and autumn without running the boiler. Whether that saves money depends on your oil or LPG price and your electricity tariff. It won't heat hot water or radiators, so it adds to your boiler rather than replacing it.
Listed buildings in the centre
Much of the town centre, including Load Street and High Street, is a conservation area with many listed buildings. Listed homes need consent before any work. The installer will check this at the survey.
Questions from Bewdley homeowners
Will air conditioning replace my oil boiler?
No. An air-to-air system heats the rooms it's fitted in, but it doesn't provide hot water or feed radiators. It can heat the rooms it serves, which may mean the boiler is needed less in milder months, depending on how you use it.
What happens to the outdoor unit if the river floods?
If it's mounted high on a wall bracket with the electrics above likely flood levels, it should stay clear of the water. That's why siting is planned around flood risk for riverside homes.
