Does anyone on this forum own a Hitachi Yutaki SCombi Heat Pump? I need to find others and their experience of the system.

I would also be looking for a user specific forum for this pump, I drew a blank. Anyone know of one?

@nick and @muscatblue have these units. Not sure if they're still active on these forums (they were last here in 2021), but because they've been tagged they should receive a message, so let's see if they return to help you.

@trebor12345, what was your question?

@editor I just wanted to know other owners thoughts and experience of this system.  I am having issues with short cycles and getting steady flow temperature.

I've got a Hitachi Yutaki 11kW split system. Nothing but trouble and expense over the last 2 1/2 years. Hitachi customer support doesn't exist in the UK. Bosch has recently acquired Hitachi/Johnson Controls for all of Europe, so let's see what happens...

@sim0n0, increasingly strong anti-Hitachi messaging. Just goes to show how important manufacturer support is. Thanks for sharing.

Sim0n0.  I also have the Hitachi Yutaki system.  Also having lots of problems.

@sim0n0

Sorry to hear that.  Putting the past aside would you like to describe the current problems and tell us a bit about your system and house in case we can offer support. 

 


4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.

It would be very useful if you could tell us more about your experience.

@jamespa Hi James I appreciate the offer, but what I need is a local heat pump engineer familiar with Hitachi that can offer servicing/support. They don't exist and Hitachi doesn't have UK support. The original installers were useless (now Heat Geak certified), MCS certificate isn't worth the paper it's written on, and Hitachi/Hitachi engineers are non-existent in the UK.

@editor So many pro heat pump evangelists on the internet, but the reality, at least local to me in Buckinghamshire, is an industry full of charlatans.

@jamespa Latest issue is the system getting 'stuck' in hot water mode and not switching back to heating. The motorised valve can be operated manually.
