So…. What exactly is a heat pump?
A device which pumps heat!
It transfers energy from a low temperature level to a higher level!

Can Heat Pumps Integrate with Existing Heating Systems? Yes
Heat Emitters? Heat pumps work most efficiently when the heat emitter is designed to work at lower temperatures (compared to fossil fuel combustion systems) Radiators and
Fan coils design circa 55°C (but there are higher temperature HP’s 65-80°C available for retrofit but efficiency penalty)
Under-floor heating max 45°C (40oC achievable with more tube) – mostly new build
How? 1. Use Latest High Efficiency Products inc controls
2. Microgeneration Certification System MIS 3005

Make sure you are fully trained on your proposed products
Educating the User
This is forgotten, the occupants are left with a system they can’t understand or can’t control.
Make sure you show how to use the system and provide a user manual with base design information!
Capital v Running Cost? Total Life Cost 10 kW Domestic system (inc RHI)
Off-Gas Grid- No Brainer but must be high efficiency system to compete On Gas Grid You have the space
(GSHP) or the location (ASHP- sound criteria MCS 002)
Particularly New Build but also Retrofit/Refurbishment (off gas grid) Now! & Benefit from RHPP (£1250 for GSHP & £850 for ASHP) & RHI in the Future Sli1de

How?
1. Use Latest High Efficiency Products 2. Microgeneration Certification System MIS 3005
1. Find Balance CoP (£ or CO2) compared to other fuels 2. Find Point where both Source & Supply Temperature = CoP 3. Compare how many hours above and below this point
Balance Point?
Re-arrange equation Efficiency of CO2 x Gas emissions Combustion x of Heat = Pump CO2 emissions (electricity) of Gas
