A heat pump planned into a full renovation in Epsom
We replaced the gas boiler in a renovated and extended Epsom KT19 home with an 8kW Samsung Gen 7 heat pump and a 250-litre Samsung cylinder. Underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs run as separate zones with a buffer tank and Hive wireless thermostats. With new insulation and triple glazing throughout, the house needs far less heat than before, which is why 8kW is enough. The £7,500 grant was applied.
Underfloor heating and radiators want different water temperatures, so they run as separate zones with their own thermostats, and a buffer tank lets each draw what it needs. The outdoor unit was positioned to meet Samsung's clearance requirements around the layout of the new extension, set into a planted border on a hard base with a short pipe run.
On a renovation, the heat pump is one trade among several. The heat loss survey, pipe routes and commissioning were planned around the builders' programme.

Thinking about a heat pump in Epsom?
We measure every room, calculate the heat loss, check the radiators and the space for a cylinder, and send a written price with the grant already taken off. No cost and no obligation.
