What is Wrong with our Heat Pump Installation?

We dive into the complexities of our heat pump installation, revealing significant inefficiencies in our Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP). Initially thought to be moderately well-installed, a detailed inspection with Ken Bone from Ultimate Renewables (https://ultimaterenewables.com) exposed that our system was only 60% effective, with significant room for improvement. Ken discusses issues like undersized piping and poor system configuration, which limit heating efficiency, especially in remote areas of our home. Join us as we explore proposed technical adjustments and control system reevaluations aimed at enhancing performance and comfort throughout our house. 🌿 FOLLOW US HERE 🌿 My Home Farm: https://www.myhomefarm.co.uk YouTube:    / myhomefarm   Instagram:   / my.home.farm.uk   Email: contactus@myhomefarm.co.uk Renewable Heating Hub: https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk YouTube:    / renewableheatinghub   Instagram:   / renewableheatinghub   Email: editor@renewableheatinghub.co.uk 0:00 Intro 1:20 Too many kW down the pipe 2:02 System not coming to temperature 3:58 Do we need a buffer tank or a volumiser? 7:04 Controls for heat pumps & open loop systems 10:02 How to balance radiators & underfloor heating 14:08 How badly botched is our installation? 14:40 How replace a boiler with a heat pump? 16:49 Is COP important for heat pumps? 19:35 How to fix and address and poorly installed heat pump system? 21:21 Wrap up
