A high temperature heat pump in North Finchley
We installed a Samsung Gen 7 12kW high temperature heat pump in North Finchley N12 with a Vaillant uniSTOR HP 200-litre cylinder. The high temperature model runs at the flow temperatures the existing radiators were built for, so the house came off gas without replacing them. The size came from a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and our own MCS certified team commissioned it.
A standard heat pump is most efficient at lower water temperatures and often needs bigger radiators. The high temperature Gen 7 runs efficiently hotter, which is what let this house keep its radiators. The outdoor unit is mounted on wall brackets on the side of the house, clear of the ground, which keeps the side passage usable and the coil away from leaves and splashback.
The 200-litre stainless cylinder, the buffer and the expansion vessel are grouped in one plant space inside, with the valves where an engineer can reach them.
