They were eager to find a greener and more affordable solution to heat and power their home. Wanting to move away from the costly and outdated oil-fired heating system, they decided to install solar panels alongside an air source heat pump. This smart combination not only made their home much more environmentally friendly but also significantly lowered their energy bills. By harnessing the energy from the solar panels to support the heat pump, they managed to cut down a large portion of the system’s running costs.
Due to the spacious nature of the property, two air source heat pumps were installed in a cascade arrangement to ensure efficient heating throughout the house. If you’d like to learn more about the solar panel installation, there are further details available about the in-roof system they chose.
Our installers helped this client by:
- Two cascaded 14kW Mitsubishi air source heat pumps
- Low loss header from Worldheat
- Upgraded radiators throughout the home
The setup involved a pair of 14kW air source heat pumps working together in a cascade arrangement, alongside three FTC6 controllers, a low loss header, and a combination of K2 and K3 radiators. Sounds a bit technical? Don’t worry, we’ll explain what all that actually means in simple terms.
They chose this system to maximise efficiency and keep heating balanced throughout the building. The cascade of heat pumps means one can support the other when demand rises, while the FTC6 controllers help manage temperatures precisely. The low loss header acts like a buffer, ensuring smooth flow between the pumps and radiators, which come in two different sizes to suit various rooms. It’s a clever setup designed for comfort and energy savings.
