Every room was checked against its existing radiators so the system could run at 55°C, which gives it a designed seasonal efficiency (SCOP) of 3.99. A SCOP of 3.99 means almost 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity over a year. The £7,500 grant was applied, and at 32dB the unit sat within permitted development, so no planning application was needed. ## The job at a glance Where Winchmore Hill N21, London Borough of Enfield Heat pump Mitsubishi Ecodan 11.2kW Hot water 250-litre cylinder Solar 10 panels, 4.45kW Battery 9.5kWh Design Room-by-room heat loss, 55°C flow, SCOP 3.99 Planning Not needed: 32dB, within permitted development ## How the job was done Step by step, in the photographs taken on site. 1. 1 Every room checked The heat loss survey went room by room, comparing what each room loses on a cold day with what its existing radiator can give at 55°C. The design confirmed the radiators could stay, which kept the job simpler and the house familiar. 2. ![The house from the garden, with the solar panels across the rear roof.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/winchmore-hill-n21-01-960.webp) 2 Solar on the rear pitch Ten panels across the rear roof slope give 4.45kW of generation. Through the middle of the day the heat pump can run on the house's own electricity, and the battery keeps the surplus for the evening. 3. ![The Ecodan on its feet, standing off the boundary fence.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/winchmore-hill-n21-02-960.webp) 3 Sited off the fence The Ecodan stands far enough off the boundary fence that the fan does not blow straight back off it, which is what makes a badly sited unit sound louder than it is. ## Every photograph from the job 4 photographs, no faces, nothing staged. ![The house from the garden, with the solar panels across the rear roof.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/winchmore-hill-n21-01-960.webp) The house from the garden, with the solar panels across the rear roof. ![The Ecodan on its feet, standing off the boundary fence.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/winchmore-hill-n21-02-960.webp) The Ecodan on its feet, standing off the boundary fence. ![The unit from the side, with space kept round it.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/winchmore-hill-n21-03-960.webp) The unit from the side, with space kept round it. ![The inverter and battery on the wall indoors.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/winchmore-hill-n21-04-960.webp) The inverter and battery on the wall indoors. ## Thinking about a heat pump?

The seasonal coefficient of performance: how many units of heat a heat pump delivers for each unit of electricity, averaged over a year. 3.99 means almost four. It depends on the design flow temperature, which is why the room-by-room survey matters. ### Do I need planning permission for a heat pump? Usually not, if the unit meets the permitted development conditions, including the noise limit. This one measured 32dB, well within them. ## More of our finished work Other jobs we have photographed.
