The Installio team has just fitted a heat pump in a 2 bed ground floor flat in Wimbledon.

The customer wanted to get rid of their gas boiler and move to a modern heating system. A heat pump means a low carbon home that is cheaper to heat.

Summary

Heat pump model: Grant Aerona R290 9kW

Hot water cylinder: Grant Quick Recovery 180L

Heating controls: Grant Aerona Smart Controller

Design flow temperature: 52°C

Technical specification

Our team designed a heat pump-powered heating system bespoke to the customers’ home. We undertook a detailed survey of the home, including the existing heating system and how it was constructed. It allowed us to calculate how well it retains heat and what type of heat pump would be needed to keep them warm on the coldest of winter days.

The team retrofitted the heat pump to the home’s existing heating system. That means installing new components to the existing pipework and keeping the radiators where possible. Upgraded radiators are added to make sure the heat pump runs really efficiently, while guaranteeing the home will still be warm in the depths of winter.

The Grant Aerona is a firm-favourite. It’s one of the most silent and efficient heat pumps on the market. And because the Aerona uses the latest natural refrigerant, known as R290, it can operate at high temperatures if needed and is considered more eco-friendly.

An unvented 180L cylinder will provide the customer with a generous supply of hot water at a consistent high pressure. Unvented cylinders are used with heat pumps because they store water efficiently This cylinder is specifically designed to work with a heat pump. A larger heating coil allows heat exchange to work really well at lower temperatures. Hot water will produced at 300%+ efficiency.
