The £7,500 grant was applied, and the system was MCS certified on completion. The heat battery stores heat in a phase change material, which holds far more heat for its size than water does, and delivers mains pressure hot water on demand. ## The job at a glance Where Camden NW1, London Borough of Camden Heat pump Samsung 8kW high temperature, R290 Hot water Sunamp Thermino 210 xPlus heat battery Also fitted 25-litre buffer vessel Grant £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme Paperwork MCS, DNO notification, Building Control ## How the job was done Step by step, in the photographs taken on site. 1. ![The hot water store, the buffer and the expansion vessels in the cupboard.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/camden-nw1-02-960.webp) 1 Hot water without the cylinder cupboard A Sunamp Thermino is up to four times smaller than the indirect cylinder it replaces, which is what made a heat pump practical in a house with no space for a large tank. The heat cell carries a 10-year warranty. 2. ![The same unit from the side, with the isolator on the wall above it.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/camden-nw1-03-960.webp) 2 Flat on the patio, not drilled into it Outside, the unit is levelled on packers on the existing tiled patio rather than bolted through it, so the tiling stays whole and the unit still sits dead flat. ## Every photograph from the job 3 photographs, no faces, nothing staged. ![The Samsung unit on its feet on the tiled patio.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/camden-nw1-01-960.webp) The Samsung unit on its feet on the tiled patio. ![The hot water store, the buffer and the expansion vessels in the cupboard.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/camden-nw1-02-960.webp) The hot water store, the buffer and the expansion vessels in the cupboard. ![The same unit from the side, with the isolator on the wall above it.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/camden-nw1-03-960.webp) The same unit from the side, with the isolator on the wall above it. ## Thinking about a heat pump?

A compact store that holds heat in a material which melts and solidifies, instead of in a tank of water. It gives mains pressure hot water and takes a fraction of a cylinder's space. ### Do heat pumps work in Camden's older houses? Often, with the right design. A high temperature unit like this one can keep existing radiators.
