Avoid the Heat Pump Villain: Why Low-Loss Headers and Buffers Can Sabotage Your Heat Pump's Efficiency
I have been watching, with interest, the rebuild and replacement of a five year old Heat Pump on the Skillbuilder site.
The Results of the rebuild demonstrate How a heat pump should be installed!
The Skillbuilder channel has never given the cost of replacing the Heat Pump and the hot water tank, but the cost must have been substantial.
So , competent Heat Pump installers are available.................................but unaffordable.
My own Heat pump has finally reached a COP of 4.5 ........................but I DO NOT NEED A heat pump in these Temperatures.
As the NIC have repeatedly said of my Heat Pump ..............................NOTHING CAN BE DONE!
Abandon hope all ye who enter here!
A light-hearted, funny video that highlights the divide that exists in the world of heat pump installations as two titans clash over the industry's most contentious issue – buffer tanks.
