Samsung Heat Pump, Wood Green N22
The plant room was in the basement and the ceiling was too low for an upright cylinder. So the cylinder lies on its side.

A heat pump and a cylinder for a low basement in Wood Green
We installed a Samsung Gen 7 5kW heat pump in Wood Green N22 with a 200-litre horizontal unvented cylinder, chosen because the basement plant room was too low for an upright one. The system meets MCS requirements without losing any hot water capacity. It is the kind of decision a site survey makes and a standard specification does not.
An upright 200-litre cylinder would not fit under the basement ceiling. A horizontal unvented cylinder holds the same and fits the space, so the plant room could stay where it was.
The outdoor unit stands at the rear of the house on a levelled base built up out of the border, not on soil, so its feet stay out of standing water and it does not settle out of level over a winter.

Thinking about a heat pump in Wood Green?
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.
