A 16kW heat pump designed as a complete system in Leytonstone
We installed a Samsung 16kW air source heat pump in Leytonstone E11 as a complete heating and hot water system: a Sunamp 300X-Plus heat store, a Hive thermostat, a 25-litre buffer with secondary circulation pump, 35mm dual-insulated copper pipework, a dedicated fuse board and a concrete base for the unit. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme application and voucher were handled for the owner, and MCS, Building Control and DNO paperwork were issued on completion.
The unit stands on a concrete slab set clear of the fence line, with the condensate taken away below ground instead of running across the paving, where it would freeze on a winter morning. A 16kW unit moves a lot of water, so the flow and return are 35mm copper, dual-insulated, to keep the flow rate right and the losses low.
The heat pump and hot water system have a dedicated fuse board, so they are protected and isolated separately from the rest of the house.
