Hi all new here looking at air water heat pumps which one is best and cheapest with i

[the deacon]

Hi, have been plumbing heating and drainage for 36 years self employed, i am building some holiday homes for my pension, as the last one vannished without trace,(pension that is )

my options are biomass oil lpg or air water source heat pumps, not geo thermal the pay back takes way too long, any way need advice on which units, why and also any general advice from someone who has been fitting any of this stuff, I know you need new build really to make it worth while.
which is lucky cos that what i am doing. also controls operating the heat pump.

Basically any helpfull info would be great.

Oh once i have my holiday homes making money I intend to hang up my footprints for good.

Regards Steve

We have been installing the Daikin air to water heat pump for over 3 years. Very good units and as they come as a split unit you have a lot of flexibility on siting the outdoor unit.
Good back up from Daikin as you would expect from such a big company.
Inverter driven so efficiency is very good.
They only sell to approved installers so you would have to go on their training course.
The wiring of them is fairly complicated so you need a good controls man to wire them up.
Units go up to 16Kw. they also do a high temperature heat pump that goes up to 80Deg.
Installed several HT units and they are very impressive.

Hi Steve,
how is your sys working, i just installed the dalkin altherma HT 16kw and i have installed 4KW of pv solar, The only thing that encouraged me to go this deap financially speaking was that there is a 20 year FIT and annual payments from the Gov for going Carbon Free or as close as it is possible.

Why ht, I'd never personally go that way, I've found you can replace all rads and run at 50c max for the same a ht unit will cost over a lt unit

Me too, I have a Daikin Altherma air source heat pump. Very impressed, with performance and economy. Would deffinately not consider LPG or oil in comparison, Biomass maybe, but they are labour intensive and very expensive. Winding the clock back a few years, I never thought I would be saying this.
