Important
Info About Heat Pumps
|
A good heat pump installation is a finely tuned combination of mechanical
and electrical design and engineering resulting in a system optimised
for you and your building. It will provide you with warmth, comfort,
savings and a great deal of satisfaction.
A poor heat pump installation is a cheap, quickly put together, miss
match of components resulting in a poorly planned and un-optimised
system. It will provide you with frustration and very little in the
way of savings.
Our team of in house engineers are registered in, MCS, Gas Safe, F
Gas, and NICEIC. This gives our team complete in house cover when dealing
with ‘anything heat pumps.’

Insulation
Perhaps the most important aspect of a heat pump system, even though
it has no direct connection with any of the installation process.’ However,
without good insulation you are simply leaking heat, heating up the
atmosphere, and paying for it! As heat pump systems run at lower
temperatures, typically 35°c - 55°c it is imperative that
your building retains the heat. Prior to a heat pump installation
you must ensure your insulation levels in your floors, walls, lofts,
ceilings, rafters, doors and windows are as good as they can be.
EESY will be able to assist you with this. Equally as important is
draught proofing of any leaky joints in doors and windows and any
other gaps within floors, walls and roofs.
|
|
|
The
survey is required to not only ascertain these
insulation levels but also all associated U
values of each and every room of the house
so that we can build a complete picture of
the buildings envelope. Once we have this information,
complete with any of the existing radiators
if sizing up a retro fit we are able to take
it with us and start to use it as the basis
of our design for your system.

(crucial)
|
|
From
the gathered information we are able to use
our software to produce a heat loss calculation.
Once we have all the relevant values along with some other important
information such as; location design temperature, height above sea
level, occupants within the property etc. we are able to start to put
some components together to match the system’s parameters.
|
|
MCS
Standards
|
|
It
is worth mentioning that any heat pump installation
wanting to qualify for any kind of government
incentive will have to adhere to these standards.
All heat pump products installed by EESY are MCS registered and all
heat pump installations carried out by EESY are done to the MCS standards
meaning whether commercial or domestic you will be able to receive
any RHPP or RHI payments, which of course everybody wants!

Full
Breakdown Of System And Performance |
|
It
is important you receive a full breakdown of
the proposed system from physical components
(including the heat pump it’s self) right
through to projected output and what assumptions
that output is based on.
In our case it will be hard facts of building material U values constituting
heat loss, combined with climatic data, combined with manufacturer’s
product data.
From this we can present the all important pounds and pence figures
that represent savings and earnings in RHI payments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or
dot to dot as our designers call it! Some installs
go easier than others.
However, providing all the correct components specified at the design
stage are on site and everybody is reading off the same hymn sheet
installing a heat pump system at this stage is just like piping up
a conventional boiler system, only with the heat pump in place of the
boiler.
|
|
Warranty
And Guarantee |
|
All
our heat pumps come with warranties, some with
up to 5 years! Our warranty on parts and services
is for a period of 2 years on all installs.
|
|
Demonstration & Handover
Pack |
|
Each
of our customers receives a handover pack with
full details of their system, system components
and operating instructions. It is important
these are kept in a safe location, preferably
in close proximity to the heat pump for future
service engineers and maintenance.
Remember the heat pump system could be in place for upwards of 20 years.
If you sell the property it is important to ensure any details are
handed over to the new tenants. Upon completion of the heat pump installation
we will give a full demonstration of how it works and the controls.
|
|
RHI |
|
Financially,
this is one of the most important factors in
deciding whether or not somebody decides they
shall have a heat pump, but don’t worry
about the paperwork.
We complete all RHI paperwork together with you so as to ensure a smooth
application without leaving you with what can be a complex time consuming
task.
|
|
Maintenance |
|
All
our heat pumps come with a FREE 1 year maintenance
plan. During this period we hope to be able
to work with you in order to be on hand to
advise and educate you to use your new system
to its optimum efficiency and comfort.
Your relationship with your heat pump is like any other, the more time
you spend together, the more you will get to know each other!
