A 12kW high temperature heat pump and two zones in Ealing
We installed a Samsung 12kW high temperature air source heat pump in Ealing W5 with a Joule 300-litre cylinder and a two-zone heating system. The unit stands on its own concrete base with 15 metres of pipework run underground to it, and radiators too small for a heat pump were replaced. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant was applied, and the heat pump carries a 7-year manufacturer warranty.
The best place for the unit was well away from the house, so the flow and return were run underground for 15 metres to a dedicated concrete base. Buried and insulated, the run is invisible and loses little heat. A heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a boiler, so each radiator was checked against the heat its room needs. The ones that were too small were replaced, which is what lets the house reach temperature on a cold day.
The system has a dedicated fuse board, and a 50-litre buffer with a secondary circulation pump keeps the two zones working independently without upsetting the heat pump.

Thinking about a heat pump in Ealing?
We measure every room, calculate the heat loss, check the radiators and the space for a cylinder, and send a written price with the grant already taken off. No cost and no obligation.
