Use heat pump to "heat" a heat pump?
Quiet on here so thought I would ask a silly question, if you can get three times (or more) of the energy out than you put in, does it not make sense to pre-heat the air drawn in with another heat pump. which might give a COP of nine or more? I realise UK cost would be mind-boggling but heat pumps themselves are actually…

Outcome of Government Consultation on Heat Pumps?
So there was a consultation on heat pump regs with supposedly an announcement scheduled for about August - does anyone know if this is still scheduled soon and what might be in it? Asking as I am hoping to mount a HP on the side of the house on a flat roof.

Octopus ASHP, time scale
Hi all, I paid £500 deposit at the beginning of the month to Octopus for (hopefully) the installation of an ASHP. They said that I might need to wait several months before a survey and the consequence installation. Anyone had experience of how long the wait is? I currently have LPG and have 20% left in my tank. I would…

Huge radiators and single pipe gas boiler, heat pump work?
Thinking of buying a house that has an ancient gas boiler that I will be capping off as too dangerous to use, connected to huge double row radiators but running on a single pipe so the lounge (first rad) will be warm whilst the second bedroom is at the end and probably not going to get very warm, the pipework runs in the…

Non-Standard Heat Pump Packaging
Hi, I have a 3 story house in a conservation area. Total heating demand around 20kW at ~-3C although that is falling as I insulate. I was looking at various options and one of them was to install a multi-split air to air system for the top floor bedrooms which would give heating and cooling and then replace the existing…

Heat Pump Pricing versus current costs
I see City Plumbing have the Samsung Ehs 5Kw Heat Pump High Temp R290 Monobloc at £2500 inc delivery. This is air to water, a hot water cylinder is an extra grand but being into cold water showers something I would avoid. With just connecting to radiators this should be a relatively simple fit as long as you have an…

Can one heat pump run both radiators and underfloor heating at different temperatures?
I'm doing a renovation and want underfloor heating upstairs and radiators downstairs (it's an upside down house) with both powered by an Air Source Heat Pump. Do I need one or two Heat Pumps for this? If I have one ASHP can it provide water to the radiators at more than 55C and at the same time water to the underfloor…

Hitachi Yutaki (ASHP and Indoor Unit & DHW Cylinder)
Are there any other members on here that have the Hitachi Yutaki (ASHP and Indoor Unit & DHW Cylinder)? I have just moved to a property with this system and looking for some help. Equipment: * As far as I can tell it's S Combi, this is the model number RWD-3.0RW1E-220S-K, so the HW tank is within the indoor box. * The heat…

What plumbing/cabling/preparation is needed to prepare for ASHP in the future?
We want to replace the carpet, which means I'm now wondering what disruption an ASHP would cause at some point in the future (assuming everyone will eventually have to have one or a hybrid system) to decide if there is anything we can do in advance. We had a lot of disruption moving to a condensing boiler. We have a…

Clearance for Daikin Heat Pump
Does anyone know the minimum distance that must be left between the side of a Daikin Altherma 3 M 4kW (EDLA04EV3) and a wall? There seems to be no mention of this in the installation manual.

Fischer aquaefficient vs cylinder
I've seen this https://fischerfutureheat.com/product/aquafficient/ Unlike sunamp, it looks like they're backed by a 10 year warranty. They're rated for 40,000 cycles too Would there be any real disadvantages if you have this instead of a hot water cylinder? The advantage ofc is space saving which is decent for smaller…

Air Source Heat Pump - Breakdown cover

New ASHP Installed & Showers Running Cold
We've recently had a new ASHP system installed. Sadly, following installation, we've been told that our underfloor heating is "the wrong type" & won't work properly with the new system. And neither will our showers, apparently; a plumber who visited because our showers are all running cold, said that it's because they're…

Heat pumps
Hi I am planning to renew my heating system this year, putting in a heat pump to replace an old gas boiler. I am trying to find people who’ve already done this to find out how their experience has been and how they’ve found the cost of running the heat pump compared to the boiler and any difference they’ve had to adjust to…

Is an ASHP the way to go for us?
We have a 5 bedroom house 235M2 which has an oil boiler that needs replacing and provides hot water and runs our underfloor heating throughout the house. The heating is set to frost protect at 5degrees all through the year as the house is plenty hot enough. We have solar panels to offset a very expensive to run aga, hence…
