Heat pumps
Heat pump running cost is decided by installation quality and tariff. Brand choice is a distant third.
Where we stand
We treat commissioning and emitter sizing as the main determinants of cost, and we are wary of quotations that specify a unit before surveying heat loss.
The questions that actually decide it
Check these before you commit
- Has a room-by-room heat loss calculation been carried out?
- What design flow temperature is the system specified at?
- Is weather compensation being enabled at commissioning?
- Which tariff will you move to after installation?
