So the cylinder lies on its side.

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. ## The job at a glance Where Wood Green N22, London Borough of Haringey Heat pump Samsung Gen 7 5kW, R290 Hot water 200-litre horizontal unvented cylinder Plant room Basement, restricted ceiling height Paperwork MCS, DNO notification, Building Control ## How the job was done Step by step, in the photographs taken on site. 1. 1 A cylinder on its side 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. 2. ![The Samsung unit on a levelled base built up out of the border.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/wood-green-n22-01-960.webp) 2 A levelled base outside 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. ## Every photograph from the job 3 photographs, no faces, nothing staged. ![The Samsung unit on a levelled base built up out of the border.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/wood-green-n22-01-960.webp) The Samsung unit on a levelled base built up out of the border. ![The unit from the side, with the pipework insulated to the wall.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/wood-green-n22-02-960.webp) The unit from the side, with the pipework insulated to the wall. ![The flow and return along the fence to the house.](https://climateshieldlondon.co.uk/assets/img/case/wood-green-n22-03-960.webp) The flow and return along the fence to the house. ## Thinking about a heat pump?

There are options: a horizontal cylinder for low spaces, a slimline one, or a compact heat battery. The survey finds the space first and chooses the cylinder to fit it. ### Is 5kW enough for a house? For a smaller or well-insulated house, often yes. The heat loss survey sets the size, not the number of bedrooms. ## More of our finished work Other jobs we have photographed.
