I have had the heat pump in for just less than two weeks and apart from a couple of glitches like air locks and radiators needing bled, it has been all good. The house is warm and cosy and I have hot water when I need it. Hopefully my bills will reduce but it looks like the electricity bill will rise by at about a third. Will keep you posted. Any questions I will do my best to answer.rosadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952871189336291345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256522296821746338.post-80880710631818250322011-10-18T01:38:19.693-07:002011-10-18T01:38:19.693-07:00Cost can very much depend on how much adoption is ...Cost can very much depend on how much adoption is needed to your existing heating system. The water in Heat pump systems generally work at a lower temperature to conventional so the rads need to be larger or fan assisted. Controls are also important and as usual good levels of insulation help. If you have underfloor heating these systems are often ideal. <br /><br />If choosing a system check how low a temperature they work at. Some go down to -20 and potential noise levels!! <br /><br />I am thinking of installing one, possibly next year coupled with Solar Pv. The payback period seems good and the proposed grants make it an easy decision!<br /><br />As with everything shop around. Cheapest is not best, heat pumps gained a bad reputation through inappropriate installation and design. Have a look at the new Hatachi heat pumps and read the specs thoroughly.A.L.D.A.
