We were asked by the client to provide a renewable energy solution to replace the existing electric storage heaters. After conducting the building heat loss calculations and looking at the available Domestic RHI payments the logical choice was a Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pump. The system was designed with a 300L Joule stainless steel heat pump optimised cylinder and 200L buffer tank. The new FTC 5 controller and MELCloud allows internet access to all of the heat pumps settings.<\/p>\n
As the property used storage heaters, new distribution pipe work was fitted throughout which was split in to 2 independent heating zones. A combination of Polypipe overlay under floor, radiators and a Dimplex Smartrad provides all the homes space heating requirements.<\/p>\n
Upon completion a new EPC was provided to calculate the Domestic RHI payments which totalled \u00a310,977 over the next 7 years. As part of our ongoing customer support service we returned to the property 4 weeks later to check system operation. Over the month of November this 4 bedroom property cost \u00a347 to provide all of the homes heating and hot water. This is 300% lower than the previous electric storage heaters.<\/p>\n
