A heat pump for the house and the annex, in South Croydon
We installed a Samsung Gen 7 12kW heat pump in a South Croydon CR2 home under renovation, with a 250-litre Samsung Joule cylinder in a plant room in the utility. Underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs run as two zones, and the granny annex is now on the same system. The design took account of the external wall insulation planned for the house, so the heat pump is sized for the house as it will be, not as it was.
The heat loss survey included the planned external wall insulation, the new underfloor heating and the upgraded radiators, so the heat pump was sized for the finished house. The outdoor unit went on an existing concrete base within five metres of the cylinder, with the isolator on the house wall where it can be reached without walking past the unit.
The granny annex, previously separate, is now part of the main heating system, so one heat pump serves the whole property.
