Specialist Supplier of Heat Pumps For Homes and Small Businesses
Mitsubishi Heat Pump on Park Home, Canvey Island, Essex
Project Background
HeatPumps4Homes were contacted by Mr & Mrs Lovett at the end of 2014.
Their "Park" home is located on a large park village on Canvey Island, Essex
There are approximately 400 homes on the village and mains gas is not available.
The park home was using an electric "boiler" to heat the radiators.
Hot water was also heated by an electric immersion heater which resulted in an expensive method of providing heating and hot water for the property.
Mrs and Mrs Lovett contacted HeatPumps4Homes to understand how a heat pump could reduce their heating costs.
HeatPumps4homes contacted the manufacturer of the park home to ascertain the insulation levels for the property.
A detailed room by room heat loss calculation was then performed to accurately select the optimum size heat pump for the property.
Heat Pump Selection
A Mitsubishi 5kw air source heat pump was selected together with a 150 litre hot water cylinder
Hot Water Provision
The existing hot water cylinder was removed and replaced by a more efficient highly insulated cylinder that is compatible with the heat pump.
Heat Emitters
HeatPumps4Homes measured the size of each existing radiator and carefully checked that they would be suitable to work with the heat pump.
Wireless Thermostat
A Mitsubishi wireless thermostat was supplied which easily allows the homeowner to see the current room temperature and to set the desired temperature.
As the thermostat is wireless, it can be located in any suitable position to allow easy monitoring
The main system controller uses the new FTC5 system which is incredibly easy to operate.
Installation
Installation of the system was completed in two days.
Installation included our engineers having to crawl in the void underneath the park home to run the pipes.
The pipes from the heat pump to the home were insulated and run in special trunking underneath the customer's patio to create a neat finish.
The existing cylinder,heating system and all debris were removed from the site
A handover pack was supplied to the customer which includes the MCS certificate for the installation, user guides and user manuals etc
Training on how to operate the system was given to Mr and Mrs Lovett and of course HeatPumps4Homes remain on hand to answer any questions that they may have in the future.
Project Outcome
Mr and Mrs Lovett are delighted with the new heat pump installation.
They reported that the home feels much warmer than before and that the heat is more evenly distributed throughout the property.
They have no hesitation in recommending HeatPumps4Homes to any other customers.
Mr and Mrs Lovett are looking forward to much lower electricity bills and the savings that the heat pump system will offer.
HeatPumps4Homes have also helped them apply for the Renewable Heat Incentive so that they will receive payments for using a heat pump over the next seven years.
